Simon Pegg will be terrorizing a teen at a lake house in the new movie, Becky.
Directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion, who brought us 2017's disappointing Dave Bautista-heavy outing Bushwick, are lining up the main cast for their next project, an action-thriller currently called Becky, which is due to start filming in a few months.
In a rare move, Simon Pegg has signed up to be the central villain of the piece, starring opposite Annabelle: Creation's Lulu Wilson. Pegg tends to feature primarily as a lovable sort on screen, but this new role is set to test him beyond the limits of turns like The Editor in Doctor Who's "The Long Game" (didn't he also play a character based on Toby Young? - Ed).
Via Deadline, the story of Becky centres on Wilson's Becky (natch) "a rebellious 13-year-old who is brought to a weekend getaway...

Exclusive: After making a splash in Cannes with animation Next Gen, which was snapped up by Netflix in a big-dollar deal, Canadian firm Tangent Animation is teaming up with Sc Films to produce family pic War Of Their Worlds, which the latter will launch sales on at the Afm.
Described as a classic cat and mouse story of sworn enemies, the film will follow Nipsy the mouse and her family who have a happy life in an abandoned house that just won’t sell. That is until a ruthless property developer sees potential in their run-down space and sends in two eager cats to chase the mice out of their home. Cast has yet to be set.
The animation is the first developed from Sc Films’ original intellectual property. Jeff Bell, Ken Zorniak and Phyllis Laing of Tangent Animation will co-produce and handle the animation at their emerging Canadian studio,...

After Hulu's surprise release of UnREAL Season 4 this summer, it was up to fans to jump back on the Everlasting bandwagon. Now, UnREAL Season 4 Episode 1 takes an interesting turn by letting Rachel run completely loose on the set of Everlasting, glammed up and ready to go.
Season 3 left Rachel in the dust after Everlasting suitress finally realizes Rachel's scheming ways and rescinds her job offer, leaving Rachel in the lurch. She decides to return to the show and the job that she does so well, but she's back, blonde, and isn't playing around anymore.
Hulu makes an interesting choice with UnREAL, and you can clearly see its handiwork right off the bat. It prioritizes shock value over quality -- ironically enough, like the reality shows it chooses to satirize -- very meta.
Hulu's attempt to change up the format of Everlasting is too much to handle in its first episode.
