In Development

Photographs: Rounding out the cast of the slasher-horror film, Photographs, will be Violett Beane (Truth or Dare, "God Friended Me"), Katherine McNamara (Trust, "Arrow"), Sophie Skelton (211, "Outlander") and Mitchell Edwards ("All American", "Spinning Out"). No word on who they're playing, but there's a good chance their characters won't survive the film given the genre. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett are handling the directing duties based on the script by Ben Collins.

Wish You Were Here:
Stephen Graham (The Irishman, Rocketman) and Oscar Jaenada (The Devil's Passage, Rambo: Last Blood) will complete the cast of Wish You Were Here. Graham will play a government official while Jaenada will play a seedy character in Ibiza. Joe Wright directs from a script by Roy Horne.

X-Men: The Cure: Jamie Dornan (Police Story: Case Closed, X-Men), Toby Stephens (X-Men, "Lost in Space"), David Morrissey (X-Men, "Britannia") and David Oyelowo (Mass Effect: First Contact, X-Men) will all officially be back for the next X-Men film, X-Men: The Cure. The plot of the film will reportedly depict a violent push to "cure" mutants. Alex Garland (X-Men, Mass Effect: First Contact) is also back to direct, once again from a script by Dwight Gallo (The Punisher, At the Mountains of Madness).

Aliens vs. Predator: The Long War: Gemma Chan (Aliens vs. Predator: The First Hunt, Let Them All Talk) has signed on to reprise her role as Machiko Noguchi in this sequel to Aliens vs. Predator: The First Hunt. She will be joined by Felicity Jones (Morrissey and Marr, Buried Memories), Matt Smith (After, Batman: Arkham) and David Harbour (Doctor Love, Teslin, Yukon) in the film. Rupert Wyatt (Alien: Out of the Shadows, Star Trek: Enterprise) is handling the directing duties from a script by Carl Flimmer (Alien: Out of the Shadows, Resident Evil 3).

Observance: Margaret Qualley (Halo 3, The Second Life of John Wilkes Booth) has been cast as the sole actor in a new thriller, Observance. She will play a young Jewish woman mourning her father's death alone when she begins to suspect someone else is there. Trey Edward Shults (Waves, It Comes at Night) is set to direct based on an original screenplay by Chad Taylor (Tokyo Rose, Kansas City).

Antarctica: Ralph Fiennes (To the Other Side, Batman: Caped Crusader) and Charlie Hunnam (An Eye For An Eye, One Day More) have signed on to star in Antarctia, which will tell the story of the ill-fated Terra Nove Expedition's quest to become the first group to reach the South Pole in 1910. Fiennes will play the expedition's leader, Robert Falcon Scott. Hunnam will a hot-headed member of the expedition. The film is the sophomore effort of writer Wyatt Allen (An Eye For An Eye). Danny Boyle (Morrissey and Marr, Yesterday) has signed on to direct the film - which also be his sophomore effort in the LRF world.
