In Development

The Virgin Suicides: Katherine Langford (Oh Johnny Boy, The Host), Kara Hayward (The Vegan Movie, Us) and Peyton List (Dark Places, Ubik) will round out the cast of Alex Conn's The Virgin Suicides. They will join Kaitlyn Dever as the other three Lisbon Sisters.

Buried Memories: Aubrey Plaza (Neuromancer, Torso) and Jordana Brewster ("Lethal Weapon", Furious 7) will round out the cast of the fantasy horror film from director Daniel Espinosa and writer Ben Collins. Plaza will play the girlfriend of Rupert Friend's character, while Brewster will play a neighbor to the family at the center of the story.

Skyrim II: Dragonborn: Jared Leto (Missing Men, Femme Fatale) will lend some star power to the Skyrim sequel in a supporting role as a member of the Thieves Guild. Joining him in the film will also be Jamie Bell (Mass Effect: Silent Assassins, Dino Crisis 2). Both roles are reportedly set to expand in future films in the Skyrim universe. Miguel Sapochnick is directing the fantasy epic from a script by Mo Buck.

The Tournament: Ray Abruzzo ("Transparent", Last Vegas), Ellar Coltrane (Alternative, The Circle), Asa Butterfield (Letter to Myself, Ranger) and Jordi Molla ("Queen of the South", Ibiza) have all joined the historical film, The Tournament, from director Paul Greengrass and writer Jimmy Ellis. Abruzzo will play the famous artist Michaelangelo, Coltrane will play the Prince of Muscovy, Butterfield will play a young chess prodigy, and Molla will play a Spanish priest.

Zoe Maye: Following the poor reviews, but strong box office of Story of Sade back in Season 10, director Judd Apatow (Story of Sade, Trainwreck) and writer Jacob Jones (Time Passages, AGOS: A Game of Survival) will re-team for another raunchy comedy centering on a young woman. Selena Gomez (Story of Sade, Grand Theft Auto) will star as the title character, a college dropout turned stripper. Gomez will be joined by Nicolas Cage (Sandbox, Eileen) and Zac Efron (The Greatest Showman, The Beach Bum) in the primary cast. Cage will play the sleazy owner of the strip club, while Efron will play Gomez's boyfriend who wants her to quit her job.

Halo 5: Hot off the success of Swamp Thing, Alexander Skarsgard (Halo: The Fall of Reach, Swamp Thing) will be returning to his most famous role, the Master Chief, for Halo 5. He will be joined by other returning series cast members Sarah Gadon (God of War, Halo: The Fall of Reach) and Milla Jovovich (Halo: The Fall of Reach, B.R.I.G.A.N.D.S.), along with series newcomer Kevin Durand (Rocket Red, Peter and the Starcatchers). Frequent Halo director Gareth Edwards (Halo 1-4) will return to direct this entry once again penned by Mo Buck (Don't Hang Up, Under Pressure).
