Ocean’s Eleven Casting

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that WB Discovery found its villain for the Ocean’s Eleven Prequel film. Wager Moura will play the character, but we’re not sure exactly who he will be.

The film will be set at the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix. “Before Danny Ocean ever stepped foot in Vegas, two masterminds taught him everything he knows …his parents.”

The Ocean’s Eleven prequel will premiere on June 25, 2027.

Dexter: Resurrection Casting

Deadline confirmed that Krysten Ritter is returning for season 2 or Dexter: Resurrection. Paramount hasn’t released any description of season 2, so it’s all up in the air. Season 2 of Dexter: Resurrection will premiere on Paramount+.

Thud Casting

Deadline confirmed that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Rudy Pankow are set to star in a supernatural romance titled Thud. They will play the Grim Reaper and the Devil, respectively.

Mali Elfman will direct.
