Josh Hutcherson is in talks to join James and Dave Franco in “The Disaster Alert”.

James Franco is helming the New Line comedy about the making of cult classic “The Room”.

Hutcherson will play Philip Haldiman, who played Denny in “The Room.” James Franco is on board to portray director Tommy Wiseau while Dave Franco will play star Greg Sestero.

Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber penned the script.

 

 

Shailene Woodley has become attached to join Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman in David E. Kelley’s HBO’s A-list limited series “Big Little Lies”.

Based on Liane Moriarty’s 2014 novel, “Big Little Lies” is described as “a darkly comic drama centering on three mothers of kindergartners whose apparently perfect lives unravel to the point of murder” (via Variety).

Woodley will reportedly play a single mother.

 

 

Melissa Leo, Dianna Agron and Margaret Qualley will star in “Novitiate”, first-time director Margaret Betts’ coming-of-age drama.

“The film, set in the early 1960s, tells the story of a young woman, Sister Cathleen (Qualley), who starts to question her Catholic faith as she trains to become a nun. Leo will portray the Reverend Mother and Agron will play another young nun in the convent” (via Variety).

Julianne Nicholson, Stacy Martin, Rebecca Dayan, Morgan Saylor, Maddie Hasson and Chris Zylka co-star.
