Dead Body is an official selection of the Northwest Film Forum's Local Sightings Film Festival.

Jessica Jones, the latest original series from Marvel Studios, will be hitting Netflix on November 20th although we don't have to wait that long to get a glimpse of the troubled hero. Set in Hell's Kitchen, the same locale as Marvel's Daredevil, the title character is played by Krysten Ritter and promises to be on of the most unique characters to come out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Jessica's brief stint as a super hero was cut short due to some unfortunate circumstances so instead she is attempting to live a more ordinary life as a detective in New York City. Of course, having super powers means trouble is bound to being her back out of the shadows. If this show is anywhere near as good as Daredevil, I will definitely be glued to my TV as soon as the show is released and especially since this will be our only Marvel fix until Captain America: Civil War comes out next spring.
