It’s being reported that Mary Elizabeth Winstead has been cast as the female lead in Gemini Man, an upcoming action thriller from Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media. The actress beat out Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany for the role.

Winstead joins Will Smith, who will actually be playing two roles, on the cast. Smith will play an older assassin named Henry who’s looking to escape that life, and also a clone of Henry who’s 25 years younger, in top form as an assassin, and on a mission to kill his older self. Winstead will play an operative working for the same company as Smith’s character who’s ordered to keep an eye on Henry, but ultimately ends up joining forces with him.

A movie was released on Netflix in 2015 titled Parallels, which was written and directed by Christopher AlbvLeone, based on a story from Leone and Laura Harkcom. It was made for Fox Digital Studios, a division of 20th Century Fox. This movie was originally set up to be the pilot episode of a potential television series, but ended up being a standalone movie instead.

Now comes word that Parallels might just find life on the small screen after all. Fox is currently developing a drama series based on the movie titled The Building. Helping to develop the series with Leone is none other than American Gods and The Sandman author Neil Gaiman.

The always-busy Guillermo del Toro is setting up yet another project he’ll act as a producer on.

The master storyteller, writer, director, producer, author, game maker, and all-around geek god and his Necropia Entertainment are teaming up with Don Murphy and Susan Montford and their Angry Films banner to option The Bloody Benders, a spec script by Bryan Singer protege Adam Robitel.

The script is based on the very real story of the Bender family, who ran an inn on the outskirts of Kansas’s prairie lands in 1873. In the same vein as Hitchcock’s Psycho (long before it ever existed), many travelers checked into the Bender’s inn and were never seen or heard from again.
