Ursa Major
Deadline reports Jessica Biel and Xochitl Gomez are attached to star in Ursa Major, a new sci-fi thriller from directors Jonathan and Josh Baker. Based on a script by Patrick Somerville (Station Eleven), Colleen O’Brien, and Katie French, the story is “set on an Earth-like planet, where a mother (Biel) and daughter (Gomez) fight for survival while hiding from a group of relentless hunters. With the added threat of an imminent and deadly storm, Natalie—now a teenager—begins questioning her mother, Charlie, about who they really are, how they got here, and what they need to do to survive.” The outlet notes Biel has taken over the role of Charlie from Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who was forced to depart the project “due to scheduling conflicts.”
The Shrouds
Deadline also reports Sandrine Holt (Daredevil: Born Again, Fear the Walking Dead) has joined the cast of David Cronenberg’s The Shrouds as “a mysterious woman” said to be “the wife of a billionaire who contacts [Vincent] Cassel’s Karsh about a strange project involving her husband.”
Psycho Killer
Deadline additionally has word James Preston Rogers (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel Foley) will star alongside Georgina Campbell and Logan Miller in Psycho Killer, a horror-thriller directed by Zombieland producer Gavin Polone. Rogers is said to play the film’s titular “psycho killer,” a serial murderer known to the press as the “Satanic Slasher.”
Scream 7
During a recent interview with ComicBook, Parker Posey revealed she’s interested in (somehow) reprising her role as the late Jennifer Jolie in Scream 7.
Well, I did an interview for WNYC Radio, like three weeks ago, for the play I was doing. And they said, ‘Well, there’s some people here that want to say hi.’ And it was the Scream team. And I actually pitched, ‘Can I just be in another dimension and come back? And continue to…’ I hope so. I would love to do that. [Scream 3] was really fun. I can’t believe Wes Craven let me get away with some of the silly stuff I was doing. I loved him, and that was fun.
Superman: Legacy
James Gunn also confirmed Jimmy Olsen will appear in Superman: Legacy to a fan on Twitter.
Mickleberry the Space Cat
Meanwhile, members of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard revealed to /Film they’re still eager to make a sci-fi/comedy about the first cat in outer space titled Mickleberry the Space Cat.
I would love to dust that off because that was always a completely absurdist, stoned concept. I would love for us to go into space.
Cats are hard to train, right? And they’d have to go through the NASA training program, and we thought that poses a lot of challenges.
This one was multi-layered, because in this thing, the cat could also speak — or so people thought. So you would go in, and of course, the cat could not speak. And then you’d feel bad for yourself, and you’d come out of there, and then when people would say, ‘Did the cat speak to you?’ [and] these characters would lie. They’d be like, ‘Oh yeah. That cat had a lot to say to me.’ Needless to say, the studio [we pitched to] did not make this film.
