Three stage veterans have signed deals for new movies, according to reports in Variety.

Daniel Craig, soon to be on Broadway in A Steady Rain, will star in a psychological thriller Dream House. He’ll play a New York publishing exec who relocates his family to a small New England town, only to learn that their new home was the scene of a vicious murder. Jim Sheridan will direct the film, which starts shooting January 25.

Robin Williams has signed onto the Touchstone comedy Wedding Banned, in which he will play one-half of a long-divorced couple who kidnap their daughter on her wedding day in order to keep her from making a mistake.

Oscar Isaac will round the cast of Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, which centers on a girl who’s institutionalized by her stepfather and retreats into an alternative reality. Snyder will join the previously announced Emily Browning, Carla Gugino, Vanessa Hudgens, Jamie Chung, Jena Malone, Scott Glenn, and Abbie Cornish.
