In Development

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger: Melissa George (Gargoyles, Planet LV 426) and Melanie Lynskey (Maaximum Max, Blood on the Moon) will add a bit of female flavor to the proceedings of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger. George will play a love interest of Bale's Gunslinger, while Lynskey will play a woman impregnated by The Man Dressed in Black (Eric Bana). Matt Reeves is directing from a script by Matt Parker.

Teslin, Yukon: Alfie Allen (The Predator, "Game of Thrones"), Haley Joel Osment (Yoga Hosers, Izzy Gets the F*ck Across Town), Dale Dickey ("Vice Principals", Leave No Trace) and Ellen Burstyn (Don't Hang Up, A Little Life) will round out the cast of the small town drama from director Stephen Dunn and writer James Morgan. Allen and Osment will play paper mill workers, Dickey will play William H. Macy's wife, and Burstyn will play Macy's mother.

God of War: Kratos: Jessica Pare (Heavy Rain, High Society), Nick Nolte (Looking for Alaska, Inhumans) and Rade Serbedzija (Velvet, Easy Money) have signed on to play supporting roles in the upcoming God of War film. Pare will play the wife of Tom Hardy's Kratos, Nolte will play a grave digger and Serbedzija will play an architect for the Olympian Gods. Baltasar Kormakur is directing the film from a script by Roy Horne.

The Powerpuff Girls: Chad Taylor (But What Am I?, Booster Gold: Lost in Time) has penned an adaptation of the hit cartoon series, "The Powerpuff Girls". Paul King (Paddington, PAddington 2) will direct the film which has tapped Emma Stone (Under Pressure, Haute Couture), Amanda Seyfried (Crimson Fox, The Creature) and Ellen Page (Maple Leaf, The Death of the Honest Man) to play grown up versions of Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, three girls who were created in a lab.

Accordion De Chanson: Hoping to break the recent poor luck at the box office for LRF animated films will be Accordion De Chanson from writer Jacob Jones (Zoe Maye, Time Passages) and director Tim Burton (Alternative, Dumbo). The film will tell the story of a young man who steals a mythical accordion. Ewan McGregor (The Secret History, Christopher Robin), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Orchid, Dark Matter), Johnny Depp (Rasputin, The Professor) and Kristen Bell (Numero Uno, American Psycho the Musical) have all signed on to voice roles in the film.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist: The Splinter Cell series will reportedly come to an end with the release of Splinter Cell: Blacklist. Tom Cruise (Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake), Karen Gillan (Splinter Cell: Conviction, Synthetic) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Splinter Cell: Conviction, Guilt) will all return to reprise their roles of Sam Fisher, Anna Grimsdottir and Victor Coste. D.R. Cobb ("Rolling Stone", Splinter Cell: Conviction) once again returns to write the script. A new, but still familiar, name will take over in the director's chair for this potential series finale: Tom Cruise himself will direct the film, making his directorial ddebut.
