The casting behind Bad Robot’s mysterious new film, helmed by David Robert Mitchell (It Follows), continues. Cocaine Bear and “Sweet Tooth” star Christian Convery has joined the lead cast, per Variety.

The news comes hot on the heels of Maisy Stella joining previously announced cast members  Ewan McGregor (Doctor Sleep) and Anne Hathaway (Colossal).

Plot details remain tightly guarded since the project was announced, but the movie is categorized as a thriller. Considering Bad Robot is behind the Cloverfield films, Overlord, Super 8, and more, it feels safe to presume the untitled project will be a genre thriller of some sort.

The latest casting details brings news that Christian Convery and Maisy Stella will play the children of Ewan McGregor and Anne Hathaway. In other words, it’s clear that it’ll be a family affair.

David Robert Mitchell will direct from his original script and will produce alongside J.J. Abrams and Hannah Minghella for Bad Robot and Matt Jackson of Jackson Pictures. Jake Weiner and Chris Bender of Good Fear Content will serve as executive producers. Sheila Walcott and Zach Hamby will oversee for the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group.

The untitled film will be shot in IMAX and is expected to head into production this year.

Add this Bad Robot production to the list of things to get excited about. David Robert Mitchell  is also returning to the world of It Follows with the upcoming They Follow, which will bring Maika Monroe back as Jay Height.
