In Development

Nation's Pride: Jason Clarke (Terminator: Genisys, The Osterman Weekend), Rosamund Pike (Hostiles, Gone Girl) and Anthony LaPaglia (Annabelle: Creation, The Assignment) will round out the cast of WWII movie Nation's Pride. Clarke will play a friend and comrade of the hero Charles Upham, Pike will play a nurse Upham falls in love with, and LaPaglia will play a general.

Delaware: Sam Rockwell (Libra, The Child Martyr), Eric Stonestreet ("Modern Family", Confirmation) and Ed Helms (Vacation, Chappaquidick) will join Christian Bale's George Washington in Scott Cooper's Delaware. Rockwell has been cast as General Hugh Mercer, one of Washington's most trusted generals. Stonestreet has been cast as General Henry Knox, the man Washington puts in charge of the logistics of leading the soldiers across the freezing Delaware River. Ed Helms has been cast as Colonel John Glover, who is wary of the plan, but ultimately loyal to Washington.

Halo 2: While the first Halo didn't really depict much in the way of villains or fully-fledged alien characters, the Mo Buck-penned sequel will feature many villains and other alien species. Ben Foster (Warcraft, Hell or High Water), Ed Harris (Inferno, Mother!) and Ben Mendelsohn (The Last of Us, "Bloodline") have been cast in the film. Foster will play an unlikely hero, a disgraced Sangheili soldier, Thel'Vadam. Harris will play the Prophet of Truth, an antagonist. Mendelsohn will play Tartarus, a rival of Thel'Vadam. All three characters will be performed primarily through motion capture technology.

The Fog: Ashley Judd (Good Kids Olympus Has Fallen), Ray Winstone (The Question, Zipper), John Lithgow (Birth of Frankenstein, Flicker) and Lucas Till ("MacGyver", Monster Trucks) have all been cast in the Tommy Wirkola-directed remake of The Fog. Judd will play  Kathy Williams, Winstone will play Father Malone, Lithgow will play Mr. Machen, and Till will play Dick Baxter. The film tells the story of the residents of a small coastal California town that becomes terrorized by threats concealed by a thick fog that engulfs the film.

Home Again: Joining the cast of Home Again will be Lili Taylor (Leatherface, The Conjuring), Scott Glenn ("The Leftovers", "Daredevil") and Lili Reinhart ("Riverdale", The Good Neighbor). Glenn will play the dying father of the two main characters, played by Joaquin Phoenix and Timothee Chalamet. Lili Taylor has been cast as Glenn's second wife and mother to Chalamet. Reinhart will play Chalamet's love interest.

Masters of the Universe: He-Man will make his return to the big screen in this big budget fantasy epic from Last Resort Films. He-Man and Prince Adam will be played by Alan Ritchson (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows), while Callan Mulvey (300: Rise of an Empire, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) has scored the role of the villainous Skeletor, who seeks to overthrow the Kingdom of Eternia out from King Randor, Adam's father. Dean Israelite (Project Almanac, Power Rangers) has been hired to direct the film based on Mark Newton's (Without Remorse, Easy Money) screenplay.
