Set in the cutthroat world of professional cycling and described as being in the vein of Whiplash and Black Swan, Pumping Black follows cyclist Taylor Mace, who at 35 is finding himself aging out of the sport. He is taken under the wing of Andrea Lathe, a doctor driven by her own thirst for victory and power. As the race to the Tour de France progresses, Taylor must take increasingly dark measures to protect his secret.

In a competitive situation, Sony’s 3000 Pictures has acquired the bestselling hot summer novel Dolly All the Time. Gemma Burgess will adapt the novel by Annabel Monaghan, and Temple Hill Entertainment is set to produce with Annika Patton overseeing it for the producer.

Dolly All the Time came out at the beginning of the summer and quickly hit the bestseller lists. Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was 12, and not at 39 when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, RI for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home.

Set against the backdrop of Indiana University in the early ’80s and inspired by the iconic Little 500 bicycle race, Little Five follows four unlikely young women who come together to chase one impossible dream. As they fight for a place in one of America’s most storied collegiate sporting traditions, they discover that true greatness isn’t achieved alone, and that changing history sometimes begins with a single team.

Here is the film’s official logline: “Inspired by a real-life story rooted in both early-2000s hip hop culture and McAvoy’s native Scotland. The film follows Silibil N’ Brains — two aspiring Scottish rappers who, after being mocked for their accents, rebranded themselves as Californian emcees and duped their way into a record deal with Sony. Suddenly, they were rubbing shoulders with the likes of Eminem and D12, scoring MTV airplay and fat advances — until their American dream began to unravel.”

Ted Lasso‘s Juno Temple is set to lead Intimacy Party, a high-concept ensemble rom-com marking the feature directorial debut of Courtney Hoffman.

Written by Hoffman and Paul Kruse, Intimacy Party follows Cleo Kauffman, a woman determined to save her relationship by recreating the intimacy party where she first met her fiancé, only to discover she fell for the wrong guest.

Others in the cast include Richa Moorjani (Fargo), Meredith Hagner (Search Party), Michiel Huisman (Game of Thrones), Chris Pang (Crazy Rich Asians), Brandon Kyle Goodman (Big Mouth), Miles Gutierrez-Riley (Agatha All Along) and Patrick Renna (The Sandlot).
