In Development

Pulp: The upcoming dark crime comedy from director Guy Ritchie has added to its already intriguing cast with the additions of Joe Alwyn ("L.A. Noire", The Young Pretender), Richard E. Grant (The Hitman's Bodyguard, Logan) and Hayley Atwell (The Killings, Ypsilanti). Alwyn will play the boxer boyfriend of Florence Pugh's character who has never seen a fight he wasn't willing to throw. Grant will play the grumpy British prime minister, while Atwell will play his no-nonsense secretary. The script comes from Jimmy Ellis and John Malone.

Super Mario: More voices have joined the cast of Super Mario from directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. Keith David (Metal Gear Solid, 21 Bridges) will voice the villainous Bowser, Mila Kunis (Numero Uno, Hotel California) will voice Daisy, Jon Lovitz (Killing Hasselhoff, Mother's Day) will voice the Mushroom King, while hard rocker Glenn Danzig will lend his voice to Goomba. Chad Taylor penned the script.

He Kills: Kevin Durand (Halo 6, Hunter), Zoe Saldana (The Story of the Assassin, Steins Gate) and Teagan Croft ("Titans", "Home and Away") have signed on to join the sci-fi horror film He Kills as survivors of an epidemic causing men to murder women. Chloe Zhao is directing the film from a script by Billy Cruder.

Hex: The Cult of Cain: To round out its cast, the Hex sequel has added Bonnie Wright (Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg?, Before I Sleep), AJ Cook ("Criminal Minds", Wer) and Cary Elwes (Black Christmas, Don't Sleep) in small supporting roles. Chan-wook Park is directing the film from a script by Jimmy Ellis.

Suburban: Following a successful Season 16, writer Alex Conn (Haunted, Heights) has set up a new dramatic thriller film. Colin Firth (Isla Vista, Obsession), Laura Linney (Vixen: The Totems of Zambesi, Spark of Madness) and Woody Harrelson (Mass Effect: First Contact, Oh Johnny Boy) have signed on to star. Firth will play a family man who seeks revenge after feeling the justice system has failed him and his family. Linney will play his wife, while Harrelson will play Firth's friend who has some shady business dealings around town. Todd Field (Newbury Street, Little Children) has signed on to direct the film. Like he did with Haunted, John Malone will serve as a producer on the project.
