William Fichtner, who was one of the strongest aspects in Patrick Lussier’s Drive Angry 3D, is in final negotiations to re-team with his Contact co-star Jodie Foster in Neill Blomkamp’s sci-fi epic Elysium, reports Variety.

Sony is set to distribute the MRC pic, which also stars Matt Damon, Brazilian thesp Wagner Moura and Blomkamp’s District 9 hero Sharlto Copley.

Plot details remain scarce, though the futuristic story is said to be in the same social-allegory vein as District 9 but on a much bigger scale.

Bill Block and Simon Kinberg are producing the pic, which is scheduled to start production in July, with Sony set to release the film on March 8, 2013.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
