Just two weeks ago, it was announced that Mackenzie Davis – whose credits include Terminator: Dark Fate, Blade Runner 2049, Black Mirror, Halt and Catch Fire, and Station Eleven – had joined the cast of the Blumhouse thriller Speak No Evil, a remake of a Danish film called Gæsterne. Now Deadline reports that Davis has another genre film in the works: a “twisted horror” film called The Damning of a Country Merchant. Davis will be starring in the film alongside Peter Sarsgaard of The Batman.
Matthew Rosenbaum has written the screenplay and will be making his feature directorial debut with The Damning of a Country Merchant, which is set in 1910 Indiana and centers on the patriarch of a rural mercantile family (Sarsgaard) whose way of life is suddenly disrupted by a charismatic industrialist who has entered into a secret affair with his wife (Davis). When rising tensions mistakenly lead to the death of a customer,...

Global film sales agency and U.S. domestic distributor Blue Fox Entertainment has announced that production has wrapped on family comedy “Popular Theory,” starring Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Marc Evan Jackson (“The Good Place”), Sophia Reid-Gantzert (“The Baby-Sitters Club”), Lincoln Lambert (“Nope”), and Chloe East (“The Fabelmans”).

Exclusive: Sidney Flanigan wowed critics with her performance in Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always this year—the tale of a teenager forced to travel out of state for an abortion. And now, Deadline can confirm that she is set to star in Matthew Kaundart’s psychological drama My Twin Is Dead. This is Flanigan’s first role since Hittman’s film, for which Flanigan won the Best Actress award from the Boston Film Critics Association on Sunday.
Kaundart’s directorial debut is based on his own experience of addiction in his family, and follows the story of twins, both played by Will Brittain (Blow the Man Down). When one dies of a heroin overdose, the other returns to his hometown and becomes entangled with his twin’s girlfriend (Flanigan). The film also stars Analeigh Tipton (Vengeance).
My Twin is Dead is produced by Christian Hall, Eric Cook, Lauren Andrade...

It’s a good time to be alive for fans of DC comics. Roughly a week ago, it was announced that the fabled Snyder Cut, an extended version of 2017’s Justice League, was coming to HBO Max next year. As if this bit of news wasn’t thrilling enough on its own, last night we learned that actor Henry Cavill would reprise his role as Superman – and the Twitter community couldn’t be happier about it.
Following the lackluster box office performance and downright atrocious critical reception of Justice League, Warner Bros. seemed to be moving in a radically different direction with their problematic Dceu. Original standalone films like Shazam! and Joker appeared to be setting up a new, less-canonical universe for superhero stories to take place in, leaving the ‘good’ old days of Batfleck and Cavill’s Man of Steel behind.
