Rex. Del Toro will play a veteran LAPD officer breaking in a rookie partner (Taylor-Johnson). Bardem will play a drug kingpin, while Cusack will play a charismatic attorney. Gavin O'Connor (Girl in the Fog, Eileen) is onboard to direct the film from an adaptation by Wesley Campbell (Recursion, Peter and the Shadow Thieves).

The World: Done to Death: Director Mike Flanagan (The Birds, Doctor Sleep) is set to follow-up his Season 16 hit remake of The Birds with a post-apocalyptic adventure/horror film, The World: Done to Death. Kyliegh Curran ("Secrets of Sulphur Springs", Doctor Sleep) and Noah Jupe (Worried Mind, Lowell) will star as two teenagers trying to make it to the Canadian border during a zombie outbreak. They will also be joined by Rosie Perez ("The Flight Attendant", The Last Thing He Wanted) in the film. Jimmy Ellis (Hillside, Drawing Dion) penned the script.
