In Development

Cleopatra: The very British cast of Guy Ritchie's Cleopatra will be completed by Colin Morgan ("Humans", The Hunstman: Winter's War), Andrew Lincoln ("The Walking Dead", "Strike Back") and Alex Pettyfer (The Last Witness, Elvis & Nixon). Morgan will play a loyal follower of Cleopatra, Lincoln will play a friend of Caesar's, while Pettyfer will play one of Caesar's officers. Billy Rimmel wrote the script.

Gargoyles: The cartoon adaptation from director Gore Verbinski and writer Roy Horne has officially rounded out its principal cast with the additions of Kevin McKidd (Tulip Fever, "Grey's Anatomy), Sophie Lowe (The Butterfly Tree, "Romper Stomper"), Kristofer Hivju ("Game of Thrones", The Fate of the Furious), David Thewlis (Wonder Woman, "Fargo") and Josh Pence (Star Trek: Enterprise, La La Land). The first four will portray characters during the beginning set in the year 994, while Pence will stick to the present as David Xanato's (Zachary Quinto) personal assistant.

Numero Uno: Charlize Theron (Atomic Blonde, Atlas Shrugged), Michael Pena (12 Strong, Ant-Man and the Wasp), Mila Kunis (Jupiter Ascending, Bad Moms) and Kristen Bell ("The Good Place", American Psycho the Musical) have all joined the Shane Black-helmed, Jack Ryder-penned action comedy Numero Uno. Theron will portray the top agent at a secret spy agency. Kunis, Bell and Pena will play the tech support/handlers of the spies played by Tom Hardy, Chris Hemsworth and Alexander Skarsgard, respectively.

Pressing Luck: Chad Taylor and Bennett Miller's game show drama, Pressing Luck, has added the talents of John Krasinski (The Price of Fame, A Quiet Place), Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049, Batman: Gotham Knight) and Rose Byrne (Peter Rabbit, X-Men: Apocalypse) to its cast. Krasinski will portray the host of Press Your Luck, Peter Tomarken. Davis will play the girlfriend of Michael Larson (Wyatt Russell),  and Byrne will play the game show's producer.

Obsession: Michael Shannon (Hated: The Ballad of GG Allin, Heavy Rain) has been cast in the lead role of a new film from writer Mo Buck (Halo 3, Doppelganger) and direct David Lynch ("Twin Peaks", Inland Empire). Shannon will play a psychologist with some interesting and unnerving methods of treating his patients.

Lost Planet: Another video game adaptation hits the big screen thanks to Last Resort Films, this time it will be Lost Planet. The film is set after Earth has become uninhabitable, on a new planet in the middle of an ice age that is inhabited by aggressive insectoid aliens. Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Heart of Stone, Cat People), Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Halo: ODST, Dino Crisis) and Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Missoula, Steins Gate) will lead the cast of the film. Taylor-Johnson will play a soldier, while Coster-Waldau and Winstead will play snow pirates. Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane) will direct the film from a script by Billy Cruder (Dino Crisis, Dino Crisis 2).
