Exclusive: Oscar-nominee Juliette Lewis, Grace Van Patten, and Mia Goth have signed on to star in Mayday, an indie film written and directed by first-time feature helmer Karen Cinorre. Soko (Her) and Havana Rose Liu also co-star in the pic, which is currently in production.
Described as a fantastical female-driven action film, the plot focuses on a young woman named Ana (Van Patten) who is transported to a dreamlike and dangerous land where she joins up with a band of female soldiers engaged in a never-ending war along a rugged coast. Though she finds strength in this exhilarating world, she comes to realize that she’s not the killer they want her to be and must use her newfound power to try to fight her way back to life.
Cinorre will produce the project via her Queen’s Army label alongside Jonah Disend of Complementary Colors, Sam Levy, and Lucas Joaquin of Secret Engine.

If your hunger for more tales of Gilead hasn't been satisfied with three seasons (and a fourth on the way) of The Handmaid's Tale, you're in luck: Time magazine exclusively revealed that Hulu and MGM are teaming up to adapt author Margaret Atwood's follow-up novel, The Testaments, for the small screen. While The Handmaid's Tale showrunner Bruce Miller has been involved in the discussions on developing the new material, it's still not clear whether or not the story will become a separate work from the existing series. Regardless, there's definitely more of Atwood's dystopian vision of the future on the way.
If you don't already have The Testaments preordered, the novel picks up more than 15 years after the rather ambiguous ending of the original Handmaid's Tale novel. Though the existing TV series is based on the 1985 dystopian novel, June's (Offred in the novel) story has taken her way beyond...
