Chad Taylor wrote the screenplay.

Steins Gate: Jorge Garcia ("Lost", "Alcatraz"), Noomi Rapace (The Hunt, Bright) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead ("Fargo", 10 Cloverfield Lane) have been cast in Steins Gate from director Nacho Vigalondo and writer Seth Overton.

Van Helsing: Daniel Craig (Logan Lucky, Spectre), Damian Lewis (Our Kind of Traitor, "Billions") and Robert De Niro (The Raven in the Night, The Wizard of Lies) have all joined the Michael Fassbender-led Van Helsing film. Craig will play a scientist who assists Van Helsing in his investigation, Lewis will play a colleague of Craig's who has gone missing, while Robert De Niro will play the villainous Dr. Alphonse Moreau.

Cyrano de Bergerac: Kenneth Branagh (Murder on the Orient Express, Cinderella) will direct and star in an adaptation of Edmond Rostand's play Cyrano de Bergerac as the title character. Rising star Hailee Steinfeld (Last Rites, V) will play the object of his (and others') affections.
