Superman has found its latest Perry White. Rebecca Ferguson is teaming up with Chris Pratt for Timur Bekmambetov’s new sci-fi movie. Get a look at Fallout’s retro world in three new posts. Plus, what’s coming on the next episode of Halo. To me, my spoilers!
Superman
THR reports Wendell Pierce (The Wire) has joined the cast of James Gunn’s Superman as the Daily Planet’s editor-in-chief, Perry White.
Mercy
According to Deadline, Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt are attached to star in Mercy, a new sci-fi thriller from director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter) at Amazon MGM Studios. Based on a script by Marco van Belle, the story concerns “a detective (Chris Pratt) who is accused of a violent crime and forced to prove his innocence” sometime “in the near future when capital crime has increased.”
The Unknown
Bloody-Disgusting also reports a horror film based on Glasgow’s ill-fated, A.I. scripted “Willy Wonka Experience” is now in development at Kaledonia Pictures. The story is said to follow “a renowned illustrator and his wife who are haunted by the tragic death of their son, Charlie. Desperate to escape their grief, the couple leave the world behind for the remote Scottish Highlands–where an unknowable evil awaits them.”
Humane
Coming Soon reports Shudder and IFC Films have acquired the distribution rights to Caitlin Cronenberg’s debut film, Humane. Starring Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire and Peter Gallagher, the story, said to take place over a single day, is set “mere months after a global ecological collapse has forced world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth’s population. In a wealthy enclave, a recently retired newsman has invited his grown children to dinner to announce his intentions to enlist in the nation’s new euthanasia program. But when the father’s plan goes horribly awry, tensions flare and chaos erupts among his children.”
