In Development

Heavy Rain: The cast of the highly acclaimed video game Heavy Rain has added Sebastian Stan (Femme Fatale, I Tonya), Thomas Jane ("The Expanse", 1922) and Jessica Pare (High Society, Brooklyn). Stan and Jane will play FBI agents, while Pare will play a prostitute. Adam Wingard directs from a script by Dwight Gallo.

Standing Back: To add in its authenticity, director Tom Hooper's soccer drama has cast former Welsh national team captain turned actor Vinnie Jones ("Deception", Gridlocked) in a supporting role. He will be joined by Judi Dench (Murder on the Orient Express, Tulip Fever), Matt Smith (V, Creature from the Black Lagoon). Jack Ryder wrote the script.

Scion: The upcoming sci-fi epic from director Jeff Nichols and writers John Malone and Chad Taylor has added three more to its cast. Mckenna Grace (Gifted, I, Tonya) will play Russell Crowe and Kirsten Dunst's daughter. Mark Duplass (Tully, "Goliath") and Ruth Negga (Loving, "Preacher") will play a husband/wife team of scientists that are part of Crowe's mission.

2060: Director Marc Forster (All I See Is You, World War Z) has signed on for his first film for Last Resort Films, a science fiction story about two men who volunteer for a hibernation experiment, only to wake up far later than expected. Richard Madden (Dracula Lives, Cinderella) and Emile Hirsch (The Outsider, All Nighter) have been cast in the lead roles. Jack Slipter (Carmilla, The Fog) wrote the script, which will be the first release of Season 7.

Trip: Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project) has signed on to direct the drama Trip, the latest film from writer Chad Taylor (Girl/Girl, Swim Through the Darkness). Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Libra) and Katherine Langford ("13 Reasons Why", Hawkeye) play the main characters, twin sisters who end up following the Grateful Dead on tour in 1977. Kate Beckinsale (And Then There Were None, The Only Living Boy in New York) has also been cast in a supporting role as their mother.

Halo 3: The band is staying together as Alexander Skarsgard (Maria, Halo 2), Ben Foster (Hated: The Ballad of GG Allin), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther, Halo), Sarah Gadon (Sinkhole, Halo 2), Margaret Qualley (Paradise Lost, Halo 2), Ed Harris (Inferno, Halo 2) and John Slattery (Halo 2, Displacement) will all be back for Halo 3. Gareth Edwards returns to direct while Mo Buck (La Resistance, Cape Torment) once again has written the script.
