Kate Bosworth (Straw Dogs) is set to join Thomas Jane (The Punisher) in Somnia, a new thriller from writer and director Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Absentia) and co-writer Jeff Howard (Oculus). Production on the film begins this week.
Somnia tells the story of an orphaned boy whose dreams and nightmares become reality while he sleeps. Bosworth and Jane play the boy’s parents.
Bosworth is coming off “The League’s” Katie Aselton’s girl-power thriller Black Rock and has starred in such notable genre offerings as Screen Gems’ remake of Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 home-invasion thriller Straw Dogs and Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns.

Noomi Rapace is set to star in Tommy Wirkola’s new sci-fi thriller What Happened to Monday? Rapace will play multiple roles as septuplet sisters trying to survive in an overpopulated world where siblings are outlawed. When one goes missing, they all risk exposure to find her.
Wirkola, the writer and director of Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters and Dead Snow, said the lead was rewritten for Rapace after meeting with her.
He said:
Although the role was originally written for a male, I was struck by the complexities of having an actor portray seven characters and immediately knew Noomi was the ideal actor — male or female — to bring them to life.
Rapace is coming off Brian de Palma’s lesbian thriller Passion and Ridley Scotts’ Prometheus. She, of course, scored her big break playing Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish film adaptations of Stieg Larsson’s The Millennium Trilogy (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Girl Who Played with Fire, Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest).

A trailer has gone online for husband and wife producers Jennifer Blanc and Michael Biehn’s Hidden in the Woods, a remake of Chilean filmmaker Patricio Vallardes’ incest-fueled, rape-happy survival thriller En Las Afueras de La Ciudad.
Electra Avellan and Jeannine Kaspar play sisters repeatedly raped and tormented by their backwoods, drug dealing father until the day he murders two cops and is sent to the pokey. The girls barely have time to pull up their knickers when their drug lord uncle shows up to collect the money their father owes him.
