In Development

Halo 4: Just before its release, it has been announced that Doug Jones (God of War, Inhumans), Sissy Spacek (Outlaw Country, Life on Mars) and Vincent D'Onofrio (Jonestown, Inferno) have roles in Halo 4. Jones plays a mysterious creature called The Librarian, Spacek will play the chief doctor at a space station, while D'Onofrio will play the leader of the Covenant alien species. Gareth Edwards directs from a script by Mo Buck.

Village of Madness:
The historical-set thriller from director Brad Anderson and writer Billy Cruder has rounded out its cast with the additions of Amiah Miller (Trafficked, War for the Planet of the Apes), Yaya DaCosta (The Nice Guys, "Chicago Med") and Michelle Trachtenberg (The Scribbler, Take Me Home Tonight). The three actresses will play suspected witches in a small English village.

Bravo/Samurai:
The upcoming live-action adaptation of Cartoon Network hit shows "Johnny Bravo" and "Samurai Jack" has added the likes of Steve Martin (The Big Year, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk), Julianne Moore (Cosa Nostra, Pudd'nhead Wilson), Isla Fisher (Captain Atom, Tag), Peter Dinklage (I Think We're Alone Now, "Game of Thrones") and Annalise Basso (Blue Beetle, Slender Man) to its cast. Martin will play the head of a spy agency, Moore will play Bravo's mother, Fisher will play a spy and Bravo's love interest, Dinklage will play the villain Dr. Pencilneck, while Basso will play Bravo's neighbor who enjoys annoying him. Chris McKay is directing the film, while Jack Ryder penned the adaptation.

Calamity: Jason Bateman (Decrescendo, Revolution), Wyatt Russell (Trip, Pressing Luck) and John Goodman (Carmilla, Cape Torment) have joined the impressive cast of Calamity from director Spike Jonze and writers Chad Taylor and Mo Buck. Details of their roles have not been disclosed to the press.

Black Dublin: Kirsten Dunst (Scion, Blackwater) will re-team once again with director Sofia Coppola (The Beguiled, Somewhere) for the fourth time. In Black Dublin, Dunst will play a real life Scottish woman in the 1300s who is accused of witchcraft (obviously a popular topic with the studio's writers these days). Dunst will be joined by Matthew Goode (Hellraiser, And Then There Were None), Ben Mendelsohn (Halo 2, The Last of Us) and Abbie Cornish (Silver Surfer, The Lady in the Lake). Goode will play Dunst's husband, Mendelsohn will play the bishop leading the witch hunt, while Cornish will play Goode's sister. Ben Collins (The Creature: The Beginning, Damned Ship) wrote the script.

Mass Effect: The Shadow Broker: The latest film in the Mass Effect universe has been set with Alicia Vikander (Mass Effect 2, Dishonest), Lupita Nyong'o (Mass Effect 2, Black Panther) and Tom Hardy (God of War, Crowley) all returning to their previous roles in the series. This spin-off from the main series will see the main characters out to steal the cure of a deadly virus from the mysterious Shadow Broker. Patty Jenkins (Wonder Woman, Monster) will direct this entry from a script by Seth Overton (The Carpet Makers, Sweet Tooth).
