Miyavi Cast in Movie "Stray" and "Skull Island"? trailer

EXCLUSIVE: Christine Woods, Karen Fukuhara, Miyavi and Ross Partridge have joined the cast of Stray, a supernatural noir movie penned by Sleight scribes JD Dillard and Alex Theurer and to be directed by commercials helmer Joe Sill in his feature debut.

Dillard and Theurer will produce under their Engineer banner alongside Eric B. Fleischman and Sean Tabibian’s Diablo Entertainment, which is also financing. The team’s last film Sleight premiered at Sundance this year and hits theaters April 7 through BH Tilt and WWE.

Stray centers on an orphaned teenager who forms an unlikely friendship with the detective investigating her mother’s murder, and together they uncover the supernatural force that threatens her family. CAA is repping domestic rights.

Woods, who co-starred with Stephen Merchant on HBO’s Hello Ladies, is repped by Gersh and just wrapped the Netflix movie Handsome with Jeff Garlin, Natasha Lyonne and Amy Sedaris. Fukuhara, who made her film debut playing Katana in Warner Bros’ DC tentpole Suicide Squad, is repped by UTA and Energy Talent. Miyavi, whose credits include Unbroken and the upcoming Kong: Skull Island, is repped by WME.

(Searching around the web I personally did not see any mention of Miyavi being involved with Kong: Skull Island so I don't know if this is a rumor or true but the movie looks like it's gunna be good nonetheless )

Sill is repped by Magnolia Entertainment.

Here is the teaser trailer to Sleight that hit the web yesterday:

KONG: Skull Island

Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures have dropped the latest trailer for Kong: Skull Island, the reimagining of the mythic ape’s origins from director Jordan Vogt-Roberts. Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L Jackson, Brie Larson, John Goodman and John C. Reilly star in the movie that unleashes the beast in March 2017. Following the monster video that descended upon Hall H at Comic-Con in July, the trailer above (which starts out jauntily set to Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising”) offers a much closer look at Kong — in full red-eyed, chest-pounding rage — even if Reilly’s character claims he’s a “pretty good king.” (Also, check out the full Apocalypse Now-y poster below.)

But Kong’s not the only giant creature in these parts where a diverse team of explorers is brought together to venture deep into the uncharted Pacific island’s world — unaware that they’re crossing into Kong’s domain.

An endeavor as big as Kong himself, the film has been shooting across three continents over six months. Locations include Oahu, Australia’s Gold Coast and Vietnam (some parts of which have never before been seen on film).

The reboot of the King Kong franchise is intended to be part of a shared universe of WB and Legendary monster movies that will eventually see the big ape face off against King of the Monsters, Godzilla.

Skull Island‘s international ensemble also includes Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Thomas Mann, Shea Whigham, Toby Kebbell and Eugene Cordero.

Vogt-Roberts is directing from a screenplay by Max Borenstein, John Gatins, Dan Gilroy and Derek Connolly. Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni produce with Mary Parent. Exec producers are Eric McLeod and Alex Garcia.
