In Development

Recursion: As soon as she's done shooting Lowell in Massachusetts, the suddenly busy Jessie Buckley (X-Men, "Fargo") will head directly to the set of this sci-fi film in a small supporting role as the ex-wife of Chris Pratt's lead character. Also joining the film will be Dev Patel (Odette, Driving Around the Time) as a scientist and April Bowlby (Unbroken: Path to Redemption, "Doom Patrol") as a woman who crosses paths with Pratt's detective early in the film. Duncan Jones directs from a script by Wesley Campbel, based on the novel by Blake Crouch.

Bad Dreams Come True: Sterling K. Brown (Tail, 7 Days), Imogen Poots (Sandbox, Flicker), Allison Janney (A Life, Crush) and Mila Kunis (Hotel California, Numero Uno) have joined the LA-set thriller Bad Dreams Come True. Brown will play a detective, Poots will play the secretary of Stephen Amell's character, Janney will play a psychoanalyst, and Kunis will play the new neighbor of the married couple played by Amell and Elisabeth Moss. Cate Shortland directs from a script by Billy Cruder.

Attraction/Deception: Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Guilt), Grant Gustin (Drake, American Psycho the Musical) and Jodie Comer (Gambit and Rogue, Hollow Creek) have signed on to Attraction/Deception, joining the already-cast Taron Egerton and Sandra Bullock. Morgan will play Bullock's husband, while Gustin and Comer will play friends of Egerton's. James Marsh is set to direct the film based on a script by recent GRA-nominee Meirad Tako.

Columbine: Charlie Plummer (Girl in the Fog, Asylum) and Logan Miller (High School, "Rubber City Rockers") have signed on to star in Columbine, a sure to be controversial film based around the tragic massacre at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado in 1999. They will play Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, respectively, the perpetraters of the attack. Harmony Korine (Beach Bum, Spring Breakers) has signed on to direct the film. Alex Conn (High School, Suburban) penned the script.

The Punisher: During the 2nd LRF Comic-Con we learned that the legendary Mel Gibson (The Killings, The Squared Circle) had signed on to portray Frank Castle AKA The Punisher, the famed Marvel Comics character in a new film from director S. Craig Zahler (Death in the Shadows, The Raid) and writer Dwight Gallo (X-Men, McCain). Now we the studio has released that Gibson's longtime friend and collaborator Jodie Foster (Crimson Fox, Maximum Ride: School's Out Forever) is set to play the film's villain, Isabella Gnucci, who took over New York's most powerful crime family following her husband's death.
