Exodus: Alan Ruck (Spider-Man: Requiem, "Succession") and Delroy Lindo (Sinners, Da 5 Bloods) have been tapped to round out the cast of the Brad Pitt-led religious-themed drama, Exodus. Andrew Dominik is directing the film, reuniting with Pitt for the fourth time - following The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Killing Them Softly, and White Jazz. Writer Holden Abbott is making his LRF debut with the project.
Mises: The political film Mises has added Ali Fazal (Death on the Nile, Kandahar), Corey Stoll (Repeal and Replace, Tara's World), Stephen Root (The Passenger, Haven), and comedian Doug Benson (Mr. Roosevelt, "You're the Worst") to its Lucas Hedges-led ensemble cast. Based on Michael Heise and the start of the Libertarian Mises Caucus, the film is being directed by Todd Phillips and written by Alex Conn.
Nineteen Eighty-Four - Part Two: Cillian Murphy (Heartstone, Caesar Part II) is back as main character Winston in the second part of the George Orwell adaptation, picking up where the first film left off in Season 31. Darren Aronofsky (Murder Mysteries, The Hippie Preacher) is back to direct and Meirad Tako (Either/Or, The Ghost Connection) is back as writer. Javier Bardem (Spider-Man: Requiem, L.A. Rex) and Saoirse Ronan (Resident Evil 5, Atlantis: Bloodline) are back as O'Brien and Julia, respectively - with Ronan's role being much more central this time around.
Heist Society: Director James Gunn (Superman, Flash Gordon) and writer Dawson Edwards (Before Love Came to Kill Us, The Legend of Zelda) are set to team up on an adaptation of Ally Carter's YA novel, Heist Society. Kiernan Shipka (Anastasia, Tinseltown) is set for the lead role, a teen at a prestigious boarding school who happens to come from a long family line of thieves. Joe Keery (Starman, Phantasm: Awakening) and Jharrel Jerome (Hideaway, Tomato Can) will join her as friends she teams up with for a big heist.
Convalescence: Toby Wallace (Five Boroughs, Batgirl) and Clayne Crawford (Territory, Task Force X) are set to star in a low-key drama about a pair of men struggling to recover from alcoholism. Robert Machoian (When She Runs, The Killing of Two Lovers) is handling directing duties, working from a script by Jimmy Ellis (Cleveland, The Essence).
Robopocalypse: Hollywood has been trying for more than a decade to bring Daniel H. Wilson's novel Robopocalypse to the big screen - and now it finally will. Hot off a string of Marvel hits, Gareth Edwards (The Avengers, Fantastic Four and the Silver Surfer) is set to direct the blockbuster from an adaptation by Nic Suzuki (Sniper, Monopoly). Headlining the cast will be Glen Powell (The Avengers, Gears of War 2), Ken Watanabe (Tokyo Rose, Fractured), Gary Oldman (Metroid, Tinseltown), and Anna Sawai ("Shogun", "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters"). Powell will play a former soldier now finding himself leading a squad against the AI-controlled robots who have started to take over the planet. Watanabe will play a Japanese robotics worker who has an intimate relationship with Mikiko, a robot played by Sawai. Oldman, meanwhile, will play the scientist who accidentally creates the villain of the story - Archos, an AI program that takes over the world's robotics to eliminate humans.
