Law will play Allan Pinkerton, head of the Pinkerton agents harassing the hometown of the James-Younger Gang, Spacek will play Ma James - the mother of Jesse and Frank, while Bridgers will play a conniving Union general working with Pinkerton. The film will be the first release of Season 9.

Captain Atom: Last Resort Films' latest entry into the DC Comics catalogue has added Michael C. Hall (Alien: Isolation, The Osterman Weekend), Holt McCallany (Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Cascade) and Chris Sullivan (Cyrano de Bergerac, "This Is Us") to the cast. Hall has been cast as the scientist behind Captain Atom's transformation, McCallany will play a captain under the command of General Eiling (David Morse), while Sullivan has been cast as a colleague of Hall's. Matthew Vaughn is directing the Mo Buck-penned superhero film.

God of War: Tom Hardy will have company in the big budget video game adaptation, God of War. He will be joined by the likes of Olga Kurylenko (Masters of the Universe, Johnny English Strikes Again), Sean Bean (Blood Countess, Hawkman) and Pedro Pascal (Cosa Nostra, The Prisoner). Kurylenko will play Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. Bean will play Ares, the God of War. Meanwhile, Pascal will play Helios, Titan God of The Sun. Duncan Jones is directing the film from a script by Carl Flimmer.

American Dream: Young star Alden Ehrenreich (Ranger, Death Dream) is set to return to work for Last Resort Films this time alongside John Boyega (Blue Heat, Pacific Rim Uprising) in a film inspired by the 1969 film Midnight Cowboy. Boyega will play a young man who dreams of becoming a model in LA, while Ehrenreich will play an aspiring filmmaker he befriends. Josh and Benny Safdie (Grand Theft Auto, Easy Money) will direct the film from a script by Chad Taylor (Cascade, Somewhere, Somehow).

ID: Queen Mary and Life of a Champion writer Alex Conn is back, but this time with a comedy. Alex Wolff (Somewhere Somehow, Cleopatra), RJ Cyler (White Boy Rick, Power Rangers) and Abraham Attah (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Beasts of No Nation) star in the film about a group of kids and the misdventures that occur when they get fake IDs. The curious choice of Rob Zombie (31, The Lords of Salem) will direct the film.

Scion 2: A sequel to one of the most successful original blockbusters in LRF history is one the way. Scion 2 will pick up several years after the previous film ended, with Phoebe Agrippa now a young woman who has been raised on Agora. Rising star Saoirse Ronan (Resident Evil, Amelie) will take over the role of Phoebe, while Chiwetel Ejiofor (Scion, The Price of Fame) will reprise his role as Creon, the chieftain of Agora, who killed Phoebe's family while taking her in. Jeff Nichols (Scion, Animus) returns to direct, once again from a script by the duo of John Malone (Revolution, Ranger) and Chad Taylor (Cascade, Booster Gold II: The Booster Gold Story)
