At the rate David Leitch is building the cast for his upcoming action thriller Bullet Train, it could be one of the biggest ensemble casts in ages as Oscar winner Lady Gaga (A Star is Born) has joined the star-studded roster led by Brad Pitt, according to Collider.

Bullet Train will mark the eighth collaboration between Leitch (Hobbs & Shaw) and Pitt, who first worked together in 1999 on Fight Club on which Leitch worked as an uncredited stunt double for Pitt, followed by 2001’s The Mexican, Ocean’s Eleven and Spy Game, the latter two in which he doubled again for Pitt and helped coordinate the martial arts stunts on the Tony Scott-helmed film. Leitch would once again double for Pitt in 2004’s Troy and 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith and would later reunite with the star in 2018’s Deadpool 2, in which Pitt cameoed as Vanisher and Leitch directed.
On top of directing, Leitch will supervise the script written by Zak Olkewicz (Fear Street). Plot details for the film are currently being kept under wraps, but it is based on the Japanese novel Maria Beetle by Isaka Kotaro. The cast for the film, led by Pitt, already includes Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass), Andrew Koji (Warrior), Joey King (The Lie), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), Zazie Beetz (Deadpool 2), Michael Shannon (The Shape of Water) and Masi Oka (Spies in Disguise).
Leitch and Kelly McCormick will produce the project via their company 87North along with Antoine Fuqua (The Magnificent Seven, Training Day, The Equalizer) and Kat Samick (The Equalizer, Southpaw, Infinite). Brittany Morrissey is the executive overseeing the film for Sony Pictures.

Leitch and McCormick recently signed a first-look deal at Universal and produced the action film Nobody, starring Better Call Saul’s Bob Odenkirk, which is expected to release in February 2021. The duo is also developing a biopic of Jutta Kleinschmidt, the first and only woman to win the brutal off-road endurance race known as The Dakar Rally, as well as the rights to her book My Victory at Dakar.

After finding his first critical and commercial success with last year’s disaster monster pic Crawl, Alexandre Aja has lined up another new project with Searchlight Pictures’ horror pic Elijah as the now-Disney-owned label looks to continue their genre streak following Ready or Not and Antlers, according to Deadline.
RELATED: Alexandre Aja to Direct Interactive Haunted House Film for Amblin
The film, which is being penned by The Last Witch Hunter scribe Cory Goodman and rewrites by frequent Aja collaborator Gregory Levasseur (Mirrors), will center on a young boy who invites a mysterious man into his home in hopes he will be the key to saving his ailing mother, but as increasingly disturbing things begin to occur around the home, he soon realizes the stranger may not be who he says he is.
The project will be produced by Adam Goldworm of Aperture Entertainment (The Last Witch Hunter, My Friend Dahmer) alongside David Goyer (Terminator: Dark Fate, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) and Keith Levine (The Night House) via their Phantom Four Films production banner, while Searchlight’s SVP of Production DanTram Nguyen will oversee the film with Manager Apolline Berty.
Alongside Elijah, Goodman recently sold his sci-fi thriller script Oberlin Incident and holiday adventure comedy pitch Merry Little Christmas to Paramount Pictures, the Dwayne Johnson-led Lore to Warner Bros. for seven figures and Hood to Sony, the latter two which he co-wrote with Jeremy Lott.

The horror film also marks a reunion between Aja and Searchlight Pictures, with the 42-year-old French filmmaker having previously worked with the former Fox studio on the 2006 remake of Wes Craven’s cult classic horror-thriller The Hills Have Eyes.

Co-writer/director Zack Snyder has continually given fans new exciting looks at the infamous new cut of Justice League but now star Joe Manganiello has taken to Twitter to unveil a new look at his portrayal of iconic DC Comics villain Deathstroke to raise awareness for the Autumn Snyder Tribute Fund. The new look can be viewed below!

Zack Snyder’s Justice League will reportedly cost around $70 million in order to properly finish the editing and visual effects of the director’s original vision, as well as the additional photography. The original post-production crew is also expected to return along with the cast members to record additional dialogue for the cut.
It was revealed at DC FanDome that the movie will release on HBO Max in 2021 by being broken up into four one-hour parts that will also be released as one four-hour film.
Fueled by the hero’s restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Justice League sees Bruce Wayne enlist the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League, which features a screenplay from Chris Terrio from a story by Snyder and Terrio, stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, with J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.

Released in November 2017, the film earned mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, praising the action and performances from Gadot and Miller while criticizing every other aspect of the film, namely the inconsistent tone that many fault Joss Whedon (The Avengers) for after taking over directorial duties from Snyder. With a large budget of $300 million and a break-even point of $750 million, the film is considered a box office bomb having grossed only $658 million.

After acquiring the rights to the film adaptation of the espionage thriller novel, Amazon Studios’ All the Old Knives is expanding its Chris Pine (Wonder Woman 1984) and Thandie Newton (Westworld)-led cast with the additions of Oscar nominee Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes) and Laurence Fishburne (Black-ish), according to Variety.
RELATED: All the Old Knives: Amazon Studios Acquires Thriller Starring Chris Pine & Thandie Newton
The story is set in the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea and follows ex-lovers — one a CIA spy, one an ex-spy — meet over dinner to reminisce on their time together at Vienna station. The conversation moves inevitably to the disastrous hijacking of Royal Jordanian Flight 127, which ended in the deaths of all on board. That failure haunts the CIA to this day, and Henry has come to Carmel to close the book on that seedy chapter. As they parry, flirting, over California cuisine, it becomes clear that one of them is not going to survive the meal.

All the Old Knives will be produced with Chockstone Pictures and Nick Wechsler Productions in association with Entertainment One (eOne). Steve Schwartz and Paula Mae Schwartz and Nick Wechsler are set to produce through Chockstone Pictures with Matt Jackson producing via his Jackson Pictures banner.

After breaking out in his feature directorial debut with the Ben Schwartz-led Sonic the Hedgehog adaptation and helping develop the sequel, Jeff Fowler has found another major project as MGM has tapped him to helm a new Pink Panther film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
RELATED: Jeff Fowler & Tim Miller’s The Goon Movie Update & Storyboard Reveal
The new film, which is being penned by Bad Boys for Life co-writer Chris Bremner, will shift the story’s perspective from bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau, the central character in all of the previous films, to the titular feline, who appeared in the opening credits for the Peter Sellers and Steve Martin-led outings and was the front of multiple cartoon series in the decades since. Though the exact details are currently unclear for the story, sources report that the film will focus on a smooth inspector who has the titular character as an imaginary friend after a traumatic event and will be a live-action/CGI hybrid production.
“Popular the world over, the legacy of the iconic Pink Panther has endured for more than 50 years and continues to be discovered by new generations,” Michael De Luca, MGM Film Group chairman, and Pamela Abdy, MGM Film Group president, said in a statement. “We are so happy to come together with Jeff, Chris, Larry, Julie, Dan, Jonathan, Walter and Ryan to bring one of MGM’s most well-loved franchise back to the big screen and in a way audience have never seen before.”

MGM first announced development on a new Pink Panther film in 2014 with David Silverman (The Simpsons) attached to direct, though after years of failed development it appears that initial attempt fell through, aside from the concept of shifting the perspective to the titular character.

After recent rumors swirled that the studio may be exploring a streaming debut for the highly-anticipated DC Extended Universe sequel, it’s been revealed that Warner Bros. is officially setting Wonder Woman 1984 for a simultaneous theatrical and HBO Max release this year, according to Variety.
RELATED: POLL RESULTS: Stream or Theatrical for Wonder Woman 1984?
Sources report that with approximately 50 percent of theaters in the United States still out of operation due to the global pandemic, most notably major markets New York and Los Angeles, the studio elected to not solely rely on the box office numbers to recoup their $200 million after Christopher Nolan’s Tenet failed to break even and will reportedly lose the studio millions of dollars. While WW84 is still expected to debut in the U.S. on Christmas Day on HBO Max and in theaters, the exact release date overseas, where the streaming platform hasn’t made its debut, is currently unknown.
Fast forward to the 1980s as Wonder Woman’s next big-screen adventure finds her facing two all-new foes: Max Lord and The Cheetah. With director Patty Jenkins back at the helm and Gal Gadot returning in the title role, Wonder Woman 1984 is Warner Bros. Pictures’ follow up to the DC Super Hero’s first outing, 2017’s record-breaking Wonder Woman.
The film also stars Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristen Wiig as The Cheetah, Pedro Pascal as Max Lord, Robin Wright as Antiope, and Connie Nielsen as Hippolyta. Charles Roven, Deborah Snyder, Zack Snyder, Patty Jenkins, Gal Gadot, and Stephen Jones are producing the film. Rebecca Steel Roven Oakley, Richard Suckle, Marianne Jenkins, Geoff Johns, Walter Hamada, Chantal Nong Vo, and Wesley Coller are the executive producers. Patty Jenkins directed from a screenplay she wrote with Geoff Johns & David Callaham, story by Jenkins & Johns, based on characters from DC.

The sequel was originally intended to be released in 2019 but was then delayed to June 5, 2020. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the film was then pushed back to two times to August and October before finally landing on its current December 25, 2020 release.

The upcoming sci-fi drama Swan Song at Apple starring Mahershala Ali (Green Book) and Naomie Harris (No Time to Die) has expanded its cast with another prestige award winner in Golden Globe winner Awkwafina (The Farewell), according to The Hollywood Reporter.
RELATED: Mahershala Ali to Produce, Star in Swan Song Drama for Apple TV+
Swan Song is set in the near future and explores how far someone will go, and how much they’ll sacrifice, to make a happier life for the people they love. The Crazy Rich Asians star is set to portray Kate, a close friend and confidant to Ali’s Cameron in the film.
Oscar-winner Benjamin Cleary (Stutterer) will write and direct the project. Production on the feature is expected to begin in the spring. The movie will receive a theatrical release in addition to streaming on Apple TV+.
“Benjamin’s script for ‘Swan Song’ immediately connected with us,” Matt Dentler, Apple’s head of feature development and acquisitions, previously said in a statement. “We cannot wait to bring Benjamin’s vision together with Mahershala’s undeniable talent to deliver this powerfully layered story to audiences around the world.”
Cleary previously said in a statement, “I’ve been developing ‘Swan Song’ for a while and when I sat down with Apple it was immediately clear they completely understood my vision. Once Mahershala agreed to join us I knew we had something really special. To be making this movie with Mahershala and Anonymous at Apple is an absolute dream.”
“Benjamin Cleary is a rare talent who deftly weaves human emotion into his filmmaking in a way that harkens to many of the great films that began at Anonymous Content such as ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ and ‘Being John Malkovich,’” Anonymous Content’s Adam Shulman and Jacob Perlin previously said in a statement. “We are tremendously grateful to be working with Mahershala Ali and Ben on this thought-provoking project, that we’re sure will be a conversation starter.”
Adam Shulman (Defending Jacob) and Jacob Perlin (The Amazing Johnathan Documentary) are set to produce Swan Song for Anonymous Content along with Ali.
