Gorky Park: Brian De Palma's latest directorial effort has just secured the acting services of Ciaran Hinds (Justice League, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Alan Tudyk (Salem's Lot, Trumbo) and Hugo Weaving (Hacksaw Ridge, The Dressmaker). Hinds will play a KGB agent, Weaving will play Joel Edgerton's supervisor, and Tudyk will play a professor who aids in Edgerton's investigation.
The Prisoner: Christopher Nolan's latest mysterious sci-fi film has landed three more talented actors. Nicholas Hoult (Rasputin, Equals), Elizabeth Olsen (Wind River, Captain America: Civil War) and Olivia Williams (The Ghost Writer, Sabotage) have all joined the film. Hoult will play Liam Neeson's son, Williams will play Neeson's wife, and Olsen will play a potential love interest of Tom Hardy's.
Dracula Lives: The sequel to the first film released by Last Resort Studios, Dracula Origins, is finally getting set to shoot. The film was delayed after Scott Derrickson decided to direct Share and the studio decided to wait for him instead of hiring a different director. The film is set to follow some of the same territory as Bram Stoker's original novel. Oscar Isaac is the only actor returning from the first film. Joining him will be Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Every Secret Thing) and Michael Fassbender (Atlas Shrugged, Assassin's Creed). Ridley will play play Mina Harker, the possible reincarnation of Vlad/Dracula's dead wife (played in Dracula Origins by Camilla Belle). The studio considered bringing Belle back to play Mina, but ultimately decided to go in a different direction (although Belle could still appear in possible flashbacks as she did sign on for a sequel). Fassbender, meanwhile, has been cast as Abraham Van Helsing. The deal with Fassbender is reportedly wide-reaching and could result in him popping up in other monster movies as well as his own spin-off film.
Into Thin Air: Last Resort Films has just optioned the latest script from writer James Morgan, Into Thin Air. The story is reportedly about a criminal who uses time travel to get rich. Tim Roth (600 Miles, Selma) will play the thief, while Viggo Mortensen (Captain Fantastic, The Two Faces of January) has been cast as an FBI agent on the case. Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) has been tasked to direct the film.
The Informers: Elizabeth Wood (White Girl) has been given the task of directing an adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' short story collection, The Informers. Lon Charles wrote the script which will depict the interconnected lives of several people in Los Angeles: rich kids, rock stars, vampires and kidnappers are among the group. Blake Jenner (The Edge of Seventeen, Everybody Wants Some!!), Logan Lerman (Every Secret Thing, Indignation), Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets) and Glen Powell (Everybody Wants Some!!, "Scream Queens") will play a group of young, rich kids in the film.
