Ariel Vromen's debut feature, The Iceman, was a largely unimpressive crime flick. Pretty darn boring, actually. It featured a starry cast, however, and it appears Vromen is putting together an even better one for his follow-up, Criminal. Adding a touch of superheroic power to the film will be Wonder Woman herself, Batman v Superman star Gal Gadot. She joins Kevin Costner Ryan Reynolds, Gary Oldman, Tommy Lee Jones, and the recently-added Alice Eve in the thriller about a dangerous prison inmate (Costner) who is implanted with the memories and skills of a dead CIA agent to stop a diabolical plot. Gadot will play Reynolds' wife. [THR]
After years of struggling to get off the ground it finally looks like Pride & Prejudice & Zombies is going to happen. Last week we learned Lily James, Bella Heathcote, and Sam Riley would star in the adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's horror novel, with Jack Huston in early talks at the time. Now Deadline confirms the Boardwalk Empire and American Hustle actor has joined the cast in the role of George Wickham. The story tosses zombies and kung-fu into the middle of the Jane Austen classic, with Elizabeth Bennet and her sisters favoring martial arts rather than sewing classes and tea parties.
