In Development


Every Secret Thing: With the addition of William Fichtner (Black Hawk Down, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) as Randolph A. Hearst, father of Patty Hearst, the cast for Mark Romanek's Patty Hearst kidnapping film is complete.

The Mummy:
Joining the studio's latest monstrous endeavor is Jamie Dornan ("The Fall", Fifty Shades of Grey), Ian McShane ("Deadwood", "American Gods"), Thomas Kretschman (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Downfall) and Kristin Scott Thomas (Tell No One, Gosford Park. Rami Malek plays the titular mummy, making him the first Egyptian actor to ever star in a "Mummy" movie. Francis Lawrence directs.

Jack the Ripper: Given Jack the Ripper's predilection for killing prostitutes, it stands to reason that the film will have several actresses play ladies of the night. Sally Hawkins (Blue Jasmine, Godzilla) and Naomi Watts (The Impossible, Eastern Promises) have both signed onto Tom Hooper's film in major supporting roles.

Roanoke: Rhys Ifans (The Amazing Spider-Man, Enduring Love) has just signed on to co-star in Brad Anderson's supernatural thriller about the Lost Colony of Roanoke. He will play John White, father of Ellie Bamber's character and father-in-law to Robert Pattinson's lead character.

The Associate: The studio has just hired Gavin O'Connor (The Accountant, Warrior) to direct an adaptation of the John Grisham legal thriller, The Associate. No cast is currently attached.
