Wagner Moura has locked in his next project…

The 48-year-old Brazilian actor, director and filmmaker will star opposite Greta Lee in the high-concept sci-fi thriller 11817 from director Louis Leterrier, with Netflix also recently boarding the project.

The film follows a family of four who are suddenly sealed inside their home with no way out, and they must work to survive against both their dwindling resources and the mysterious, looming threat that is keeping them trapped.

Leterrier will direct from a script by Matthew Robinson.

Leterrier will also produce with Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping and Kori Adelson, who will produce through Chernin Entertainment, as well as Oly Obst for 3 Arts Entertainment.

Thomas Benski, Cecile Gaget, Lars Sylvest and Thorsten Schumacher will executive produce.

Moura earned raves for his A24 film Civil War. He can next be seen in the TV series Dope Thief and the film Last Night at the Lobster.

Penélope Cruz has reportedly spied her next big screen role…

The 40-year-old Spanish actress is reportedly in final negotiations to join Sacha Baron Cohen in Grimsby, Sony Pictures’ spy comedy.

Directed by Louis Leterrier, the story centers on a James Bond-like character, portrayed by Mark Strong, who is forced to go into hiding in his hometown and team up with his English football hooligan brother, played by Baron Cohen.

The cast already includes Rebel Wilson, Ian McShane, Gabourey Sidibe and Annabelle Wallis, among others.

Much of the character information is being kept secret, but sources say Cruz will play a philanthropic corporate leader who may (or may not) be more than she seems.

Baron Cohen, Phil Johnston and Peter Baynham wrote the script.

The film is shooting this summer in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
