Summer concert season is just heating up, but Hollywood casting season never stops. There’s no Knives Out or Luca Guadagnino news for the first time in a while, but some other major projects both found their leads and filled out their ensembles. Disney is doubling down on Moana and just cast their live-action princess, while Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker will be a little less virtuous as the stars of Stephen King’s The Institute. Elsewhere, the casts of 28 Years Later and DINKS are also growing.

Erin Kellyman joins 28 Years Later

While we were all distracted by the Wake Up Dead Man cast, the ensemble of Danny Boyle’s 28 Years Later just kept growing. The latest addition to the cast is Erin Kellyman (Eleanor The Great), who will also be starring opposite Saoirse Ronan and Harris Dickinson in Steve McQueen’s Blitz later this year. Kellyman joins previously announced stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O’Connell. The film, which was written by Civil War director Alex Garland, is set to premiere June 20, 2025. [Emma Keates]
