In Development

 

Whammy: The voice cast of the curious new animated adventure, Whammy, based on the money-stealing red monster from the 1980s game show "Press Your Luck" has rounded out its primary voice cast with the additions of Maulik Pancholy ("Whitney", "30 Rock"), Craig Ferguson ("Hot in Cleveland", Then Came You) and John De Lancie (AGOS: A Game of Survival, Odette).

Hex: The Cult of Cain: Elijah Wood (Germinal, Odette), Paul Anderson ("Peaky Blinders", Hostiles) and Alexander Ludwig (Radisson, An Ember in the Ashes) will join Brad Pitt in the upcoming Hex sequel. Wood will play the young Gotham doctor, Amadeus Arkham. Anderson will play the chief of Gotham's police force, while Ludwig will play an undisclosed villainous character. Chan-wook Park is once again directing, this time from a script by Jimmy Ellis.

Pulp: Colin Farrell (The Stranger, Constantine: The Hellblazer), Jason Statham (Halo 6, The Meg), Florence Pugh (A Lost Sense of Heaven, Oklahoma!) and Hugh Grant (The Gentlemen, The Question: Dark Tomorrow) have signed on to headline a new dark crime comedy from director Guy Ritchie (The Gentlemen, Cleopatra). Farrell and Statham will play a down on their luck couple who stumble across the path of a young woman (Pugh) who has a briefcase of money that belongs to a local crime kingpin (Grant). The film was penned by the award-winning duo of John Malone and Jimmy Ellis (Control, Bunker 17).

Super Mario: It may not be a fourth Booster Gold film, but writer Chad Taylor (No Laughing Matter, Gambit and Rogue) and directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the Booster Gold series, 22 Jump Street) willl work together once again, this time on an animated film based on Nintendo's Mario video game series. The voice cast will include Paul Rudd (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Lucky Luke and Billy the Kid) as Mario, John Mulaney ("Mulaney", "Documentary Now!") as Luigi, and Rachel McAdams (Game Night, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga) as Princess Peach.

He Kills: Evangeline Lilly (Ant-Man and the Wasp, Metal Gear Solid), Jeremy Renner (Atlas Shrugged, Nocturne) and Thomasin McKenzie ("Boreas", Gambit and Rogue) have all joined the upcoming horror film from director Chloe Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider), making her LRF debut, and writer Billy Cruder (Red Farm, Village of Madness). The film will tell the story of scientists investigating a mysterious epidemic causing violent and murderous acts directed at women.

Skyrim III: Dovahkiin: Following a serious on-set injury which has caused multiple production delays, star Chris Hemsworth has finally been medically cleared to complete work on the third film in the main Skyrim series. Miguel Sapochnik is directing based on a script by Mo Buck.
