In Development

 

Nineteen Eighty-Four - Part Two: The second part of Darren Aronofsky and Meirad Tako's ambitious adaptation of George Orwell's prophetic novel, 1984, has rounded out its ensemble cast with the additions of Billy Nighy (Supercrooks, Nightcrawler: Demons of the Past), Diedrich Bader (Nineteen Eighty-Four - Part One, The 4:30 Movie), and David Morse (Revival, Captain Atom). Morse and Bader are reprising their roles from the first film as Emmanuel Goldstein and Mr. Parsons, respectively.

Heist Society: Yara Shahidi (Nobody, Sam), Finn Wolfhard (Gas Bar Blues, Gigantor), and Noah Jupe (Inner Demons, Camp Manhood) have joined the Kiernan Shipka-led heist comedy, Heist Society. The film, based on the YA book series by Ally Carter, is being directed by James Gunn from an adaptation by Dawson Edwards.

Convalescence: Anna Baryshnikov (Love Lies Bleeding, Idiotka), Alexandra Astor (Ethan Bloom), and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Wonder Woman, "Fear the Walking Dead") are set to join the cast of the modest drama, Convalescence, from indie darling director Robert Machoian. Baryshnikov plays the sister of Clayne Crawford's character, Astor plays the daughter of Toby Wallace's character, while Debnam Carey plays Astor's mother. The film, about a pair of men struggling with alcoholism, was penned by Jimmy Ellis.

Robopocalypse: The big budget film adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson's sci-fi novel, Robopocalypse, has added Omari Hardwick (Luke Cage: Power Man, D.I.C.K.), Rudy Pankow (Ecstacy, "Outer Banks"), Nina Dobrev (Zombieworld, Scarlet Witch), and Javier Bardem (Spider-Man: Requiem, L.A. Rex) to its cast. Pankow will play the brother of Glen Powell's main character, while Hardwick and Dobrev will play members of the human resistence fight against the robots. Bardem, meanwhile, will voice the manevolent AI villain of the film. Gareth Edwards directs from a script by Nic Suzuki.

Test of Time: Hot off last season's Power Rangers, Wyatt Oleff (Power Rangers, Phantasm: Awakening) is set to star alongside Bob Odenkirk (Broadway Joe, Wonder Bean) and Jade Pettyjohn (Escape, Guy on the Fly) in the coming-of-age high school film, Test of Time. Josh Boone (Regretting You, The New Mutants) has been tapped to direct the film based on an original script by Billy Cruder (Mirror's Curse, Terror of the Lost Time), taking a break from his usual horror output.

All the Fives: Wyatt Russell (Splendour, The Hippie Preacher), Ben Foster (Resident Evil 5, Task Force X: Chaos and Madness), and Wagner Moura (Civil War, The Secret Agent) are set to star in the intimate thriller, All the Fives. Russell will play a cab driver whose life and evening spiral out of control after a passenger dies and leaves behind a bag of cash. John Hillcoat (Lady Red, Blood on the Moon) directs from a script by Sammy-Jo Ellis (Wonder Bean, The Lights).
