In Development

White Jazz: Rounding out the cast of the Andrew Dominik-directed Brad Pitt-starring James Ellroy adaptation will be David Harbour ("Stranger Things", The Equalizer), Andy Garcia (A View from the Bridge, Dracula Origins) and Ben Barnes ("Sons of Liberty", "The Punisher").

Skin Tight: Will Arnett ("Arrested Development", Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and Benjamin Bratt (Doctor Strange, The Infiltrator) have signed on to David Dobkin's adaptation of Carl Hiaasen's crime comedy. Arnett will play an egotistical investigative reporter and Bratt will play a detective that investigates the events of the film.

Salem's Lot: The studio has settled on Samuel Bayer (A Nightmare on Elm Street) to direct Chris Pine in this new adaptation of Stephen King's vampire novel. Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies, The BFG) has also been cast as the villain, a vampire who moves to the titular town.

Peter and the Starcatchers:
Wyatt Oleff (It, Guardians of the Galaxy) has scored the role of Peter Pan in Jon M. Chu's family-friendly film, while Rowan Blanchard ("Girl Meets World", Spy Kids: All the Time in the World) has landed the female lead role, Molly Aster.

Blood Meridian: Nick Robinson (The Kings of Summer, Jurassic World) has scored the coveted lead role of The Kid in the long in-development adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's dark, violent western.

Splinter Cell: Star/producer Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman have cast two primary supporting roles in Splinter Cell, roles that would continue if the film proves to be successful enough to warrant the series Cruise and the studio desire to make. Laurence Fishburne (Man of Steel, "Hannibal") has been cast as the head of Third Echelon, Irving Lambert, while Karen Gillan (Guardians of the Galaxy, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) has been cast as Anna Grimsdottir, the organization's lead technical expert.
