Mia Wasikowska, Olivia Williams and Evan Bird have joined the cast of David Cronenberg's upcoming thriller, "Maps to the Stars."

Wasikowska is best known for starring roles in "Jane Eyre" and "Alice in Wonderland," Williams has had key supporting roles in "Rushmore" and "The Ghost Writer," and Bird appeared on AMC's "The Killing."

Maybe good karma exists in Hollywood after all: "Jane Got a Gun" screenwriter Brian Duffield has been hired to write "Insurgent," the inevitable sequel to Summit Entertainment's "Divergent," TheWrap has learned.

Duffield has endured a career's worth of headaches and heartaches the past couple months as "Jane Got a Gun" has suffered a series of setbacks stemming from director Lynne Ramsey's last-minute "departure" from the project.

From anonymous comments on industry blogs to more Twitter jokes than necessary (mine included!) about last-minute casting switcheroos, it's been easy to rag on the very public behind-the-scenes drama of "Jane Got a Gun," but through all the cringe-worthy headlines, Duffield has been a total professional.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has closed its deal with "Iron Man 3" director Shane Black to co-write and direct "Doc Savage," which Black is eyeing as his next film.

One of the most popular characters of the pulps of the 1930s and 40s, Doc Savage was also popularized on radio, film and television.

"Parks and Recreation" star Adam Scott is about to put on his swimsuit, as he's in early negotiations to dive into MGM's "Hot Tub Time Machine 2," TheWrap has learned.

Director Steve Pink and original cast members Craig Robinson, Rob Corddry and Clark Duke are nearing deals to return for the sequel to the hit 2010 comedy, though John Cusack won't be time traveling with them this time.

Should a deal make, Scott would play an entirely new leading man, according to an individual familiar with the project.

A love letter to the teen comedies of the 1980s, the original "Hot Tub Time Machine" followed four men who use a magical hot tub to travel back in time to a fateful night from their teenage years in the '80s. The film was a modest hit for MGM, grossing $50 million in the U.S....
