Affection
Deadline reports Jessica Rothe and Joseph Cross will star in Affection, a” dark sci-fi horror film” from writer/director BT Meza. The story is said to follow Ellie (Rothe), “who is stuck in a cyclical nightmare. Grappling with a condition that erratically resets her memory, she’s left unable to remember her husband (Cross) or daughter (Julianna Layne). Each reset leaves her disoriented and haunted with vivid memories of a life she’s never lived.”
Devilina
Deadline also reports Paramount has hired Rebecca Webb to write a script for a movie based on the Atlas Comics character, Devilina. The original comic followed a “sheltered young woman who journeys to New York in search of her past, only to discover she is the sister of Satan, and her twin brother has been manipulating her while a detective investigates a series of murders linked to her.”

Escape to Witch Mountain: The Series
According to Bryce Dallas Howard at Fan Expo Canada (via Collider), the Escape to Witch Mountain TV series is no longer happening.
It’s not happening, which is disappointing. It was a really great groove, and we really all enjoyed shooting it here in Toronto. Some things make it, and some things don’t, and that’s the unfortunate truth of this industry.
