Emily the Criminal star Aubrey Plaza is set to join the ensemble cast of legendary director Francis Ford Coppola's passion project Megalopolis.

Brigette Lundy-Paine, Justice Smith, Phoebe Bridgers Starring in Thriller
Jane Schoenbrun's (We're All Going to the World's Fair) upcoming horror film I Saw the TV Glow has one of our favorite casts! The movie will star Justice Smith and Brigette Lundy-Paine alongside Helena Howard, Danielle Deadwyler, Amber Benson, Emma Portner, Conner O'Malley, Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Snail Mail's Lindsy Jordan, and Phoebe Bridgers. The movie "sees two teenage outcasts, played by Smith and Lundy-Paine, who bond over their shared love of a scary television show. However, the boundary between TV and reality begins to blur after it is mysteriously canceled."
Dyllón Burnside’s New Film Role
Pose star Dyllon Burnside has been cast in Caitlyn Sponheimer's feature directorial debut Wild Goat Surf, also starring Shayelin Martin and Leandro Guedes. The movie is set in a "rundown RV park during the summer of 2003" and follows "Goat (Martin), a 12-year-old, surfing-obsessed, prodigal skater girl over the unstructured days of the summer as she dreams of becoming a surfer like her deceased father, even though she lives 700km from the ocean."
