* Sam Rockwell and Anna Kendrick together in a film penned by Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis? Yes, please. The duo will star in Mr. Right, directed by Paco Cabezas (Tokarev) and following "a woman whose bad luck streak at finding lasting love seems to end when she meets Mr. Right. That’s until she discovers he is a reformed hit man. When his dark past catches up, their fledgling relationship is tested as they try to save one another." This sounds like something that would have starred David Duchovny and Tea Leoni like a decade ago, but maybe there's more to it than the logline suggests. [Deadline]
* The lovely Melissa George (30 Days of Night, The Good Wife) will star in The Insect King, and no it's not as horrific as it sounds. The coming-of-age drama written and directed by Priscilla Cameron follows a 13-year-old boy in competition with his father for the affection of an exotic 40-year-old woman. Taika Waititi (Eagle vs. Shark) and Sophie Lowe (Adore) co-star. [Deadline]
