Blunt is attached to star in Sister, based on the book that Blunt's own sister, Felicity, represents as a literary agent.  Based in London, the "mystery follows Beatrice (Blunt) as she investigates the death of her younger sister, Tess, whose death is ruled a suicide by police. Convinced that her sister was murdered, Beatrice sets out to uncover the strange events leading up to Tess’ death, though she may pay a terrible price for the truth."  Producers are currently looking for a writer to adapt Lupton's novel.

THR reports that Zea will join Supreme Ruler, a story that centers on "a small-town go-getter (Livingston) whose dream of becoming “Supreme Ruler” of his local Buffalo Lodge is unexpectedly challenged by a hard-drinking womanizer (D'Onofrio). The two men are forced to travel to the Buffalo National Convention in Chicago in order to win the support of the organization's national leaders."  Zea stars as Livingston's wife, "a cancer survivor who must deal with her husband's obsession with the Lodge."
