This week gave us a welcome respite from the endless stream of Knives Out casting news, only to hit us with something much wilder right under the wire. It was announced today that Hugh Jackman would be leading a film called Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie from Minions: The Rise Of Gru director Kyle Balda, written by The Last Of Us’ Craig Mazin. This movie also stars Emma Thompson, Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, and an ensemble that arguably puts Wake Up Dead Man’s to shame. Elsewhere, the Glen Powell rise continues, team Luca Guadagnino grows by two, and the Superman cast just keeps getting bigger. There’s really never a dull week in Hollywood!

Everybody wants to work with Luca Guadagnino these days, but none of them have the supporting actor pull that Michael Stuhlbarg does. The duo are embarking on their third collaboration after Call Me By Your Name and Bones And All, as Stuhlbarg boards After The Hunt, per Deadline. He joins an already star-studded cast of Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri, and Andrew Garfield. The film is described as “an intense dramatic thriller about a college professor who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil levels an accusation against one of her colleagues, and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light.” [Mary Kate Carr]Also , Chloë Sevigny is also heading back to Guadagnino country. After working with director Luca Guadagnino on Bones & All and We Are We Are, Sevigny will appear in After The Hunt. [Matt Schimkowitz]
