The film is being directed by Derek Cianfrance from an original story by Mo Buck.

Wonder Woman: Labyrinth: Jake Weary (Booster Gold: Back in Time, "Animal Kingdom"), Ralph Ineson (Booster Gold: Back in Time, The Betrothed) and Camila Mendes (The Day, Booster Gold: Back in Time) are set reprise previous DC Comics Universe roles in Wonder Woman: Labyrinth as Jason, Hephaestus and Donna Troy, respectively. In addition to the familiar faces, some new talents will be joining the film with  Christopher Lambert (Kickboxer: Retaliation, Bel Canto) set to play Hades, while Paula Patton (Hunter, Road Rash) will play Etta Candy. Kathryn Bigelow directs from a script by D.R. Cobb.

Camping: Ti West's LRF debut is lining up quite the impressive ensemble cast for a horror film with Justin Prentice (Eye of the Scarecrow, Uncharted 4), Grace Van Patten (Of Rocks and Sand, Splinter Cell: Blacklist) and Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Boogie, Bliss) signing onto the project. The film is based on a script by Billy Cruder.

Also joining the film will be John Hawkes (Pirate Latitudes, 7 Days) as Lemuel Dorcas, a scientist experimenting with the genetics of sea-life.
