In Development


Salem's Lot: David Harbour ("Stranger Things", the upcoming White Jazz) and Alan Tudyk (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) have signed on to Samuel Bayer's Stephen King-adapted vampire film. Harbour will play a small town high school teacher who befriends Chris Pine's main character, while Tudyk will play the town doctor.

Peter and the Starcatchers: Comedian Russell Brand (Army of One, Arthur) has signed on to play the right-hand man to the main villain, Black Stache, played by Luke Evans, in this big-budget family fantasy film.

Blood Meridian: The cast of Jeremy Saulnier's film adaptation of the famed Cormac McCarthy has added another couple of highly-talented actors in the form of Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad", The Infiltrator) and Walton Goggins ("Justified", The Hateful Eight). Cranston will play Ben Tobin, an ex-priest who has turned to a life of crime. Goggins will play a former soldier who leads a group of militants into Mexico.

Splinter Cell: Domhnall Gleeson (American Made, Star Wars: The Force Awakens), fresh off working with Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman on American Made, has signed on to reteam with them as a member of Tom Cruise's support team in Splinter Cell.

Akira: Last Resort Films has reached a deal to bring the acclaimed manga to the big screen. They have signed former Wachowski protege James McTeigue (The Raven, V for Vendetta) to direct the adaptation which will shift the events from Japan to a futuristic New York City.
