Vera Drew will direct Trandemic, a cosmic found-footage horror comedy and the first project selected by the Transgender Film Center Found Footage Feature Fund; the package includes a $25,000 grant, Duplass Brothers mentorship, and post/sound support.

Apple TV has lined up Guilty Creatures as a true-crime thriller series; Julia Garner stars and executive produces, with Craig Gillespie directing and Sarah DeLappe adapting Mikita Brottman’s book. Tomorrow Studios produces as Apple keeps building out its prestige thriller slate.
35mm medieval werewolf feature keeps Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe in Robert Eggers' orbit; Focus Features is targeting a Christmas Day U.S. theatrical launch.
