In Development

Tenth Circle: To round out the cast of Taylor Sheridan's Tenth Circle, Rory Culkin (Lords of Chaos, Columbus), Janeane Garofalo (Speech & Debate, "Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later"), Martha Higareda ("Queen of the South", "Altered Carbon"), Forrest Goodluck (The Miseducation of Cameron Post, The Revenant) and Jerry Wolf ("Extant") have been added to the film in supporting roles. H.G. Hansen wrote the film.

Doppelganger 2:
Fionn Whitehead (The Beatles, Doppelganger), Tommy Lee Jones (Just Getting Started, Jason Bourne) and Carrie Coon (Cascade, Widows) have all signed on to the sequel to Doppelganger. Coon will play Natalie Portman's sister, Whitehead will reprise his role as scientist Albert Hawking, while Jones will join the film as a new Earth chief. Neill Blomkamp is directing from a script by Dominic Wilkins.

Life After Life: J.J. Abrams' time-jumping historical drama has added the likes of Kiernan Shipkan ("Mad Men", "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina"), Gabriel Byrne ("Maniac", Hereditary), Will Poulter (October Crisis, Life of a Champion) and  Kathy Bates (The Raven in the Night, "Disjointed") to its ensemble cast. Shipka and Poulter have been cast as Margot Robbie's sister and brother, respectively, while Byrne has been cast as their father, and Bates has been cast as a midwife during Robbie's character's multiple births. New screenwriters T.F.W. Hallowayne and Willem Mainwright penned the adaptation of Kate Atkinson's novel.

Batman: Caped Crusader: Production has been underway for sometime without any news on the casting front... until now. Eddie Marsan (Batman: Gotham Knight, "Ray Donovan") has reportedly been seen on the set reprising his role as Oswald Cobblepot/The Penguin, while Matt Smith (Burial Rites, Standing Back) has also been photographed on the set, but no word yet on his character. The studio has announced, however, that Bella Heathcote (Sisters, "Strange Angel") has been signed to play Julie Madison, who is Bruce Wayne's longtime girlfriend in the comics. Joseph Kosinski directs from a script written by APJ.

To the Moon: Charlie McDowell (The Discovery, The One I Love) has been tapped to direct the upcoming sci-fi drama To the Moon, based on the video game of the same name. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Neuromancer, Missoula), Zazie Beetz ("Atlanta", Deadpool 2) and David Harbour (Dark Places, Atlantic City) have been tapped to star in the project which tells the story of scientists who can implant artifical memories to fulfill the wishes of dying people. Gordon-Levitt and Beetz will play two scientists tasked with fulfilling the lifelong dream - going to the moon - of the character played by Harbour. Seth Overton (Mass Effect: The Shadow Broker, Sweet Tooth) wrote the script.

Lucky Luke and Billy the Kid: The entire cast of the second film in the series, Lucky Luke and Calamity Jane, returns for the third film. The only new addition to the cast will be Logan Lerman (Every Secret Thing, The Informers) as Billy the Kid. Behind the scenes there will be some changes though. Taikia Waititi, who directed the first two films of the series, will not return to direct this entry. Instead, Peyton Reed (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Yes Man) has been hired to direct the western comedy. Harry Wright (Spawn, Maple Leaf) has returned to write the script.
