Russell Mulcahy will direct action movie Give 'Em Hell, Malone. Starring Thomas Jane and Ving Rhames it's about "a tough as nails private investigator (Malone, played by Jane) who squares off with gangsters and their thugs to protect a valuable secret. Malone goes through hell to protect the information but he dishes some hell as well." It's already in pre-production and Michelle Rodriguez is in talks to join the cast.

Wes Bentley, Katharine McPhee, Anna Briem, and Jesse Spencer will star in Robert A. Masciantonio’s psychological drama The Storyteller. After his father dies, a writer goes on a downward spiral making his assistant suspect that his muse is a figment of his imagination. Filming starts September.

James Cromwell and Michael Wincott have joined the cast of Justin Evans’ A Lonely Place for the Dying. “The 1972-set espionage/thriller tells the story of KGB defector Nikolai Dzerzhinksky's attempt to buy his way into the US with information of CIA war crimes in Laos and Special Agent Robert Harper, who will stop at nothing to keep his mistakes a secret.” Filming starts September 1, Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Ian Ziering, Sophie Monk, Will Sasso, Kristanna Loken, and Rip Torn have been cast National Lampoon's The Legend of Awesomest Maximus. It's a spoof on 'sword and sandals' movies like 300.
