Spike TV Television Highlights - July 2007

 NEW YORK, June 4 /PRNewswire/ --   ORIGINAL SERIES PREMIERES     -- THE KILL POINT - SERIES PREMIERE       Premieres Sunday, July 22 (9:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT); Encores Sunday,       July 22 (11:00 PM - 1:00 AM, ET/PT) & Wednesday, July 25 (10:00 PM -       Midnight, ET/PT).        Emmy(R)Award-winning actor and Golden Globe nominee John Leguizamo and       Donnie Wahlberg star in Spike TV's new original scripted series, THE       KILL POINT, an eight-hour event focusing on two men as they square off       during a bank heist gone horribly wrong and the hostage negotiations       that ensue.        John Leguizamo is "Mr. Wolf," the leader of a small group of military       veterans who set out to rob a major bank in Pittsburgh.  When things       go awry, they're forced to take more than a dozen hostages from all       walks of life, including a wealthy and powerful businessman's       daughter. Suddenly, "Mr. Wolf" finds himself battling the police, the       hostages and members of his own team while at the same time, fighting       his own personal demons from the Iraq war and from his own war at       home. Will he be sharp enough to hold it all together or lose control       of the situation? And will he find redemption before it's too late --       and does he even care to? On the opposite side of the perimeter is       "Horst Cali," the Pittsburgh Police Department Hostage Negotiator,       played by Donnie Wahlberg, who must go toe-to-toe with "Mr. Wolf."       "Cali" must use his wit and negotiating skills, while managing his own       personal issues, to manipulate the situation and convince Wolf to free       the hostages before the FBI takes control, or worse.        With time of the essence and the uncertainty of the unfolding events,       both men need to remain resourceful and collected or risk losing       lives. THE KILL POINT reveals how the hostage takers leverage their       situation and how the negotiator tries to unravel their plans. Which       man will blink? Who will outsmart the other? Who will survive? It's a       dangerous game of chess played out with human lives at stake.     -- MURDER - SERIES PREMIERE       Premieres Tuesday, July 31 (10:00 - 11:00 PM, ET/PT); Encore Tuesday,       July 31 (11:00 PM - Midnight, ET/PT).        Following in the dramatic tradition of "CSI" and "Law and Order,"       "Murder" is an unscripted series in which amateur sleuths try to       correctly solve a real homicide pulled directly from police files.        Each episode of "Murder" begins with series host, 20-year Arlington,       TX law enforcement veteran with multiple capital murder convictions,       Detective Tommy Le Noir escorting two groups of civilians into an       exact replica crime scene pulled from the files of an existing       homicide case. The original crime scenes are re-created down to the       very last detail, so that teams experience exactly what the original       detectives encountered when they first entered the crime scene and       began their investigation. Every pertinent detail available to the       original detectives has been recreated and is available to the teams,       who have the opportunity to assess the crime scene and collect       evidence. Our real-life homicide detective also reveals a list of       potential suspects, along with their backgrounds and alibis. The teams       also meet with a coroner who reviews the findings of the original       autopsy report.        The contestants are given 48 hours to complete their investigation,       collect and catalogue their evidence and use their own smarts and       instincts to find the murderer.  Each group makes a dynamic visual       presentation with its findings to Detective Le Noir. After the       presentations, Detective Le Noir presents what actually happened at       the crime scene and reveals which group came to the correct case       conclusion. Each week, the group that made the correct, or more       compelling case, will have a donation made in their names to a       selected victim's charity.
