In Development

 
Poison Ivy: Mind Games: Stephen Tobolowsky ("The Goldbergs", The Barber), Sophie Lowe (Gargoyles, Y: The Last Man - Part 2) and Lauren Velez (Swallow, Ana) will round out the cast of Poison Ivy: Mind Games. Tobolowsky will play the administrator of a psychiatric hospital, Lowe will play one of its patients who befriends Ivy, while Velez will play a judge. Sam Levinson is once again directing this film from a script by Roy Horne.

Jurassic Park: Another Adventure: Travis Fimmel (Tekken: Blood Feud, Death in the Shadows), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Winter's Displeasure, American Idiot), Demian Bichir (Teen Titans, Hollow Creek) and Chris Messina (Alien: Out of the Shadows, Girl/Girl) will join the large ensemble cast of LRF's first venture in the Jurassic Park universe. The Russo Brothers are directing the blockbuster hopeful from a script by Ben Collins.

The Oil Slick: The tumultuous 1993 season of the National Football League's Houston Oilers is set to get the big screen treatment from writer Jacob Jones (Emergency, The Culture) and director John Lee Hancock (The Little Things, The Highwaymen).  James Franco (The Case Against 8, Life of a Champion) will lead the ensemble sports film cast as the team's offensive coordinator, Kevin Gilbride, who helps revolutionize the team's passing game. Also signing on to the film are Tim Robbins (Maria, Velvet) and Michael Douglas (Hunter, XIII). Robbins will play the team's defensive coordinator, Buddy Ryan, while Douglas will play the team's owner, Bud Adams, who threatens to break up the team if they don't make it to the Super Bowl.

Berserker: Hot off his acclaimed villainous turn last season in Batman: In The Shadows, Viggo Mortensen (Batman: In The Shadows, The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches) has signed on to the lead role in Berserker, a Viking-era thriller from writer Dwight Gallo (Elektra, Rodeo) and director Ben Wheatley (Rebecca, Free Fire). Mortensen will play an aging Viking tasked by the king with sailing to the New World and setting up a colony, but not goes according to plan. Joining Mortensen will be Valter Skarsgard (Lords of Chaos, Skyrim) and Thekla Reuten (Red Sparrow, The American) as his son and wife, respectively.

Blue Ridge: Matthew McConaughey (Spider-Man vs. The Sinister Six, Hands on a Hard Body) and Robert Pattinson (Worried Mind, Germinal) will play the lead roles in the new thriller, Blue Ridge. McConaughey will play a man wrongfully convicted of murder who escapes prison, while Pattinson will play the ambitious young district attorney who put him behind bars and wants to keep him there. David Mackenzie (Harrelson, Outlaw King) helms the film from a script by the duo of Jimmy Ellis and John Malone (Pontiac, Klondike).

Booster Gold: Back in Time: Billy Magnussen (Free Spirit, Kazaria) is once again back as Booster Gold for the first time since Season 12. He will be officially joined by Dan Stevens (Risico, Justice League Unlimited), who will once again be playing Rip Hunter. And having been teased in Wonder Woman's acclaimed opening sequence, Jason Clarke (The Lone Gunman, Watch Hill) will take on the role of the villain of the film: Vandal Savage. Phil Lord & Chris Miller (Booster Gold: Lost in Time, Super Mario) will be back to direct once again from a script by Chad Taylor (Broadway, Free Spirit).
