Triton

THR reports Freya Allen, Josh Whitehouse, Raff Law, Elsie Hewitt, Thalia Besson and musician Malcolm McRae are attached to star in Triton, a fantasy horror film from director Janell Shirtcliff currently filming in Athens, Greece.

Destroy All Neighbors

We also have a trailer for Destroy All Neighbors, in which Jonah from Mystery Science Theater 3000 plays a musician who keeps accidentally murdering his noisy neighbors. Alex Winter, Thoman Lennon, Kiran Deol, Christian Calloway, Randee Heller, DeMorge Brown, Jon Daly and Phil Hendrie co-star.

Deadline additionally reports Apple TV+ has ordered Murderbot, a ten-episode sci-fi drama based on Martha Wells’ Hugo and Nebula Award-winning book series, The Murderbot Diaries. Produced by Alexander Skarsgård with Chris and Paul Weitz, the series centers on “a self-hacking security android (Skarsgård) who is horrified by human emotion yet drawn to its vulnerable ‘clients.’ Murderbot must hide its free will and complete a dangerous assignment when all it really wants is to be left alone to watch futuristic soap operas and figure out its place in the universe.”
