ANON

ANON is LORD OF WAR director Andrew Niccol’s upcoming spy thriller starring Clive Owen. According to Variety, LES MISERABLES actress Amanda Seyfried has joined to star opposite of Owen.

The synopsis is described as follows by Variety.

“In ANON, Owen plays a detective in the psychological thriller set in a world with no privacy, ignorance or anonymity. All lives are transparent, traceable and recorded by the authorities. It’s the end of crime, it seems. However, when Owen’s character stumbles on a young woman (Seyfried) with no digital footprint and invisible to the police, he discovers it may not be the end of crime but the beginning.”

MACGYVER

This television reboot is set to co-star George Eads, best known for his role as Nick Stokes in CSI, THR reports. In addition to this bit of casting, HELL ON WHEELS and CODE BLACK director David Von Ancken will be directing the pilot in place of James Wan, who had a scheduling conflict, as he is in post-production on THE CONJURING 2. Wan will remain as executive producer of the series.  

“Described as a re-imagining of the television series of the same name, the reboot follows a 20-something MacGyver as he gets recruited into a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening.”
