In Development

Justice League International: Rounding out the cast of the DC Comics Universe "team-up" film will be Lee Pace (Inhumans, Booster Gold II: The Booster Gold Story) and Lea Seydoux (Booster Gold II: The Booster Gold Story, Spectre) and Rafe Spall (The Ritual, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom). Pace and Seydoux will reprise their roles as Maxwell Lord and Sasha Bordeaux from the Booster Gold films, while Spall will play the primary OMAC Project test subject, Buddy Blank. Michael Bay directs from a script by APJ, D.R. Cobb and Chad Tayor.

Halo: The Fall of Reach: Speaking of Lee Pace (Inhumans, Booster Gold II: The Booster Gold Story), once he's done with JLI, he will head over to the set of the latest Halo film, joining other additions Kevin Durand (Skin Tight, Peter and the Starcatchers) and Milla Jovovich (Future World, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) in the film. Matt Reeves helms from a script by Mo Buck and Dominic Wilkins.

Isla Vista: Sarah Paulson (Skyrim, Doppelganger 2), Chloe Grace Moretz (Haute Couture, Eleanor & Park) and Jacob Tremblay (ID, Nevada, Iowa) have joined the true crime film from director Luca Guadagnino and writers Chad Taylor and Alex Conn. Paulson will play a child therapist, Moretz will play the object of murderer Elliot Rodger's (Nick Robinson) affections, and Tremblay will play a younger version of Rodger. The film is, of course, based on the rampage college student Elliot Rodger went on in Isla Vista in 2014.

Bioshock: The video game adaptation Bioshock has added the likes of Mark Strong (Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, La Resistance), Franka Potente ("Taboo", Between Worlds) and Denis O'Hare (Private Life, "American Horror Story") to its cast. Strong will play Fontaine, an enemy of Tom Hanks' Andrew Ryan. Potente will play a geneticist, while O'Hare will play a mentally unbalanced artist. Tim Miller is directing the film from a script by H.G. Hansen.

Newbury Street: Bryce Dallas Howard (A Dog's Way Home, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom), Cristin Milioti (Nocturne, "No Activity") and Norbert Leo Butz (Death Dream, "Bloodline") have all joined the Matt Damon-led crime drama from director Todd Field and writer Lon Charles. Howard will play Damon's mistress, Milioti will play his wife, while Butz will play his ne'er-do-well brother.

The Troop: Joining the cast of the upcoming horror film, The Troop, will be Dafne Keen (Logan, "The Refugees"), Christopher Paul Richards ("The Kids Are Alright", "Billions") and Emjay Anthony (Replicas, A Bad Moms Christmas). They will join Ethan Hawke as the troop leader of a Boy Scouts troop that gets stranded on an island. James DeMonaco is directing the film from an adaptation penned by T.F.W. Hallowayne.
