In Development

Dracula Lives: Tom Felton (Risen, "The Flash") and Jack Davenport (A United Kingdom, Peter and the Starcatchers) have signed on to round out the cast to Scott Derrickson's Dracula Lives. Felton will play Van Helsing's assistant while Davenport will play a doctor attempting to treat vampirism.

Into Thin Air: The already talented cast of Alex Garland's latest directorial effort, Into Thin Air, has added three more talented actors. Ian McShane ("American Gods", Death Race), Winona Ryder ("Stranger Things", Homefront) and Michelle Dockery ("Downton Abbey", "Godless") have all joined the time travel thriller.

The Informers: The expansive cast of this Bret Easton Ellis adaptation continues to grow in size, this time adding "Friday Night Lights" starring couple Kyle Chandler ("Bloodline", The Wolf of Wall Street) and Connie Britton ("Nashville", American Ultra) as well as Ezra Miller (Justice League, 101). Britton will play a woman having an affair with a much younger man, Chandler will play a man trying to connect with his son, and Miller will play a young man who believes himself to be a vampire.

Amelie: Wes Anderson's remake of Amelie continues to cast up with the additions of F. Murray Abraham (Inside Llewyn Davis, The Grand Budapest Hotel), Frances McDormand (Moonrise Kingdom, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) and Owen Wilson (Wonder, Inherent Vice), all of whom have worked with the director before. Abraham will play Amelie's reclusive neighbor, McDormand a co-worker and Wilson a customer at the cafe Amelie works at.


Metal Gear Solid: Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man, Real Steel), Sophie Turner (X-Men: Apocalypse, "Game of Thrones") and Max Irons (Woman in Gold, The Riot Club) have joined the long-awaited video game adaptation, Metal Gear Solid, from director Joseph Kosinski and writer Mark Newton. Turner will play Meryl Silverburgh, Lilly will play Dr. Naomi Hunter, and Irons will play Hal Emmerich.

Inhumans: Jack Ryder has penned a script for a film based on the Inhumans from Marvel Comics that has Guillermo del Toro in talks to direct. The film, at Ryder's request, will surprisingly utilize the cast of the much-maligned "Inhumans" television series, including Anson Mount ("Inhumans", The Last of Us) as Black Bolt, Serinda Swan ("Inhumans", The Veil) as Medusa, Ken Leung ("Inhumans", Star Wars: The Force Awakens) as Karnak, Eme Ikwuakor ("Extant", "Inhumans") as Gorgon, Isabelle Cornish (Australia Day, "Inhumans") as Crystal, Sonya Balmores ("Inhumans", Soul Surfer) as Auran and Iwan Rheon (The Banded Ants, "Inhumans") as Maximus.
