Northrock: Verge of War: Roman Griffin-Davis (Akin, Police Story: Brother), Peter Capaldi (The Wonder, Life After Life), Jack Lowden (Morrissey and Marr, Photographs) and Rowan Atkinson (Wonka, Johnny English Strikes Again) are set to complete the casting of the sequel Northrock: Verge of War. Jordan Vogt-Roberts is once again directing, this time from a script co-written by Jimmy Ellis and HG Hansen.

Five Boroughs: Rounding out the cast of the Safdie Brothers latest LRF project will be Jeff Daniel Phillips (The Munsters, 3 from Hell), George Katt (The Tomorrow Job, Match Struck) and retired NBA superstar Stephon Marbury. The film is based on a script by Jimmy Ellis and John Malone.

The Dogs of Winter: Matthew McConaughey, Sean Penn and Zoe Saldana are set to have more company with Mason Gooding (Scream VI, My Musical Adventure in Another World as an Old Man!), Forrest Goodluck (Audible, Tenth Circle), Michael Spears ("1923", "Reservation Dogs") and Richard Ray Whitman (The Unknown Country, "Reservation Dogs") all being hired to appear in the surf noir film The Dogs of Winter from director David Fincher and writer Chad Taylor. The film is based on the novel by Kem Nunn.

The ComeBack: Charlie Cox (Rock Paper Scissors, The Boy in the Suitcase), Brandon Routh (Riot Love, Dishonest), Jason Sudeikis (Sisters, Be More Chill) and Lakeith Stanfield (Haven, We Were Never Here) are set to star in buddy cop action/comedy The ComeBack. Ruben Fleischer (Venom, Zombieland: Double Tap) has been hired to direct the film based on a script from Jack Ryder (Bravo/Samurai, Before You Help) - his first solo writing effort since Season 9.... 20 seasons ago! Cox and Routh will play police officers on an important case.... to guard a foreign princess.

The Crow: Midnight Garden: Sophie Thatcher ("Yellowjackets", The Boogeyman) was announced as LRF's latest incarnation of The Crow at the latest Comic-Con. We now also know that Brendan Fraser (Tinseltown, Uncharted 4) and Violet McGraw (Amityville, Red Riding Blood) are set to join her in the film. In this film a young girl is murdered, only to come back from the dead 10 years later (although her spirit has aged) to seek revenge on the people responsible. Fraser will play a detective haunted by the case of the murdered girl, while McGraw will play the younger version of Thatcher's Crow. Nathalie Biancheri (Wolf, Nocturnal) has been hired to direct the film. Jack Brown (The Tomb of Dracula, Amityville) penned the script, taking over from Jacob Jones who penned the previous two LRF Crow films.

A German Tragedy: Adam Driver (Beasts, Murder Mysteries), Sam Rockwell (Watch Hill, Of Rocks and Sand) and Eliza Scanlen (Sinatra, To The Max) are set to star in the theater-set film A German Tragedy. Driver is set to play a theater director who recruits an old high school classmate (played by Adam Driver) to star in a new theater adaptation of Faust. Scanlen will play an actress cast in the female lead. Wyatt Allen (The Untitled Paul Nichols Project, Shoe Dog) penned the film, which is set to be directed by Noah Baumbach (Whaling, A Reputation) - the second collaboration between the two.
