In Development

 
The Sandman: Season of Mists: Johnny Depp's Dream will be joined by Jodie Smith-Turner (After Yank, Without Remorse), Garance Marillier (Amelie, Somewhere Somehow) and Emma Corrin ("The Crown", My Policeman) in the cast of The Sandman: Season of Mists. Smith-Turner will play Nada, Marillier will play Delirium and Corrin will play Desire. Jennifer Kent directs the DC Comics Universe film from a script by Chad Taylor.

No Promises in the Wind: Jacob Tremblay (Camp Manhood, An Eye For An Eye), Carey Mulligan (Run, The Grenade), Mark Ruffalo (Sunny Days, Oh Johnny Boy) and Peter Dinklage (Undefeated Abe, Revelations) are set to lead the cast of a new film from Steven Spielberg (Circumstances of Time, The Life of the Party), No Promises in the Wind. The film, based on the novel by Irene Hunt, tells the story of a teenage boy and his younger brother who run away from home and wind up joining a circus. Tremblay will play the lead role, Mulligan will play a clown, Ruffalo will play a truck driver and Dinklage will play a circus performer. The adaptation was written by Rachel Hallett Hardcastle.

Troll Mountain: After many seasons away, director George Miller (High Society, B.R.I.G.A.N.D.S.) is set to work for LRF again after being hired to helm a big budget adaptation of Troll Mountain, a novella by Matthew Reilly. Wyatt Oleff (Red Sonja: Blood _ Bone, Born in Brooklyn), Brian Cox (Whaling, The Grenade), Joseph Quinn ("Stranger Things", Overlord) and Nick Offerman (Nobody, "Devs") have all been cast in the film. Oleff will play a young hero who sets out to find an elixir kept by the mountain trolls that could cure a terrible illness afflicting his tribe. Cox will play an old hermit, Offerman will play the chief of the human tribe, with Quinn cast as his arrogant son. Sammy-Jo Ellis (Her Dying Wish, So This Is What It Feels Like) penned the adaptation.

The Punisher: Last Exit: After the critical and financial success of the first film, it was only a matter of time until Mel Gibson (The Punisher, The Emperor of Latium) would return as LRF's Punisher. Shea Whigham (Risico, The Punisher) and Jennifer Carpenter (Poison Ivy, The Punisher) will also be returning as Punisher Task Force Detectives Martin Soap and Molly Von Richthofen, respectively. Raffey Cassidy (Tumor, Recursion) will be a new face this time around as a young European woman illegally trafficked in the country by an organized crime group. The Punisher will be trying to track down the group in this film. S. Craig Zahler (Death in the Shadows, The Punisher) is back as director, once again working from a script by Dwight Gallo (X-Men: Sinister, Berserker).

Kazaria: Burns of the Lavita: While Kazaria didn't set the box office on fire back in Season 19, it did earn enough of a profit to get a sequel greenlit for director Guillermo del Toro (Mexican Gothic, Kazaria) and writer Jacob Jones (The Young Heiress, E.P.). Billy Magnussen (Booster Gold: Back in Time, Free Spirit) is back as Kevin Mogov, now the ruler of Kazaria. This film will add an extra bit of star power to the cast with Dwayne Johnson (The Fall Guy: Trouble in Tahiti, Rookie's Road) signing on to the film as the leader of a tribe of lava people.

Bunny: Kaitlyn Dever (The Giver, Happy Birthday) is set to star in an adaptation of the horror novel Bunny by Mona Awad. She will play student at an elite college who becomes entangled with a clique of girls who call each other "Bunny". Joining Dever will be Geraldine Viswanathan ("Miracle Workers", 7 Days), Chandler Riggs ("The Walking Dead", The Brilliant Friend) and Christina Ricci ("Yellowjackets", The Matrix Resurrections). Viswanathan will play Dever's best friend, Riggs a fellow student, and Ricci will play a famous author. Karyn Kusama (Rachel Rising, The Black Cat) is set to direct the film from an adaptation by Abbie Q (Akin).
