Rob Lowe gets political in Knife Fight.
Rob Lowe (TV’s Parks and Recreation), Richard Schiff (Seven) and Jamie Chung (The Hangover Part II) star in the 2012 political thriller film Knife Fight.
Paul Turner (Lowe) is a savvy strategist sharply maneuvering politicians out of scandal and into public office. With the help of a bright young assistant (Chung) and his team, Turner spins every news cycle on behalf of his clients, which include a philandering Kentucky governor (Eric McCormack, TV’s Will & Grace) and a blackmailed California senator and an idealistic doctor turned gubernatorial candidate (Carrie-Anne Moss, Memento, The Matrix series). When the ugly side of Turner’s work begins to haunt him, he learns that even in the bloodiest of battles, sometimes you have to fight clean.
Directed and co-written by televisiondocumentary veteran Bob Guttentag, Knife Fight also stars »

The second season of Perception is slated to begin airing on June 25th.

'Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story': Matt Barr's a killer with a six-pack for Lifetime
23 March 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Many residents of Delmar, N.Y., are certain to have great interest in a new cable movie ... which will debut after all this weekend, despite its title subject's legal efforts to have the telecast blocked.
The suburb of state capital Albany was in the spotlight for a sensational 2004 murder case that fueled episodes of CBS' "48 Hours Mystery" and TruTV's "Forensic Files," and now is being revisited as a docudrama. Premiering Saturday (March 23) on Lifetime, "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" traces the arrest and trial of a college student who was accused -- and ultimately convicted -- of killing his father and disfiguring his mother, with an ax as the weapon.
Eric McCormack ("Will & Grace," "Perception") plays a composite character, a police detective who took the critically injured Joan Porco's (Lolita Davidovich) nod, in apparent response to an investigation question, as confirmation that her son Christopher (Matt Barr, "Hatfields & McCoys") was the assailant, »

The Latest In Lifetime's Real-Life Drama

Albany, N.Y. — A New York state appeals court has lifted the Lifetime television network's prohibition from airing a movie this weekend on a man who killed his father and maimed his mother with an ax.
Lifetime on Thursday said it will air its original movie "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" on Saturday as originally planned. It stars "Will & Grace" star Eric McCormack as an investigator.
Porco sought to stop the movie, saying Lifetime needed permission to use his name because the movie represents a fictionalized account of the 2004 crime.
A New York judge on Wednesday had temporarily banned Lifetime from showing the movie based on the grisly attack in upstate New York.
But the Appellate Division of state Supreme Court in a ruling on Thursday allowed the airing. »

'Romeo Killer' movie will air after Lifetime wins court appeal
21 March 2013 2:55 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Lifetime has secured the right to air its true-crime movie "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" as scheduled this weekend after winning a court appeal Thursday (March 21).
A New York judge issued an injunction Wednesday barring the movie from airing. The film's subject, convicted murderer Christopher Porco, claimed in a lawsuit that "Romeo Killer" used his name and likeness without his permission and that the movie is a heavily fictionalized account of his case. Porco is serving 25 years to life in prison for the 2004 murder of his father and attempted murder of his mother.
Lifetime appealed the ruling, arguing that the movie was based largely on police and court records of the case and that the "newsworthy" aspect of the case trumped Porco's claim to his publicity rights. The network also cited free-speech concerns if the movie was prohibited from airing.
An appeals court in New York agreed with Lifetime, »

New York — The Lifetime television network's attempt to air a movie this weekend on a man who killed his father and maimed his mother with an ax depends on a ruling from a New York state court.
A New York judge has temporarily banned Lifetime from showing "Romeo Killer: The Christopher Porco Story." It was scheduled to debut Saturday night and repeat on Sunday, showing the story about an upstate New York man imprisoned for the grisly crime.
Porco sought to stop the movie, arguing Lifetime needed permission to use his name because the movie represents a fictionalized account of the crime. New York state Supreme Court Judge Robert Muller agreed with him and temporarily barred the showing, pending a late April hearing.
Lifetime has asked the state Appellate Division to lift the injunction and allow the movie, which stars Eric McCormack of "Will & Grace" as an investigator, to be shown this weekend. »

Judge bars Lifetime movie 'Romeo Killer' from airing
20 March 2013 3:46 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
A judge in New York has barred Lifetime from airing its original movie "Romeo Killer: The Chris Porco Story" this weekend.
In a ruling issued Tuesday (March 19), state Judge Robert Muller ruled Lifetime can't show the movie and can't promote it. "Romeo Killer" was scheduled to air Saturday; Lifetime has filed an emergency appeal in an attempt to get the film on the air.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Muller issued his injunction without summoning Lifetime to appear in court. Christopher Porco, the subject of the movie, sued under a section of New York law that protects people when their name or likeness is used without their consent.
Porco was convicted in 2006 of murdering his father and attempting to kill his mother. He's currently serving a sentence of 25 years to life in prison on each charge. Matt Barr ("Hellcats," "Hatfields & McCoys") plays him in the movie, which also stars Eric McCormack and Lolita Davidovich. »

30 January 2013 5:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Politics is a dirty, mean-spirited, no-good business, and even the purest of souls who enter come out the other end tainted by the unavoidable compromises necessary to survive the experience. This comes as news to no one of course, least of all the filmmakers behind the new film Knife Fight… but that doesn’t mean they fully agree with it. Paul Turner (Rob Lowe) is a campaign manager happily saddled with the nickname “The Master of Disaster.” When politicians are discovered in bed with a dead girl, a live boy or a quadriplegic orangutang Turner and his assistant Kerstin (Jamie Chung) are the ones they rely on to spin things back in their favor. His current slate includes an infidelity-prone Kentucky governor (Eric McCormack) in a tight re-election race and a California Senator (David Harbour) accused of sexual impropriety during a massage. Also begging for his assistance is a Mission District doctor (Carrie-Ann Moss) who’s decided »
