Susan Sarandon, Bill Pullman and Josh Lucas have joined the cast of Mandate Pictures' psychological thriller "Peacock." Cillian Murphy and Ellen Page star.

Michael Lander will direct from a script he co-wrote with Ryan Roy.

Barry Mendel is producing. Mandate's Nathan Kahane and Nicole Brown are exec producing. Mandate Intl. is selling foreign rights at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

Sarandon stars in Warner Bros.' upcoming "Speed Racer" and was most recently seen in Disney's "Enchanted."

Pullman starred in the Sundance pics "Phoebe in Wonderland" and "Bottle Shock." He also will be seen in Jennifer Lynch's "Surveillance," which will bow in Cannes this month.

Lucas is in production on Michael Cuesta's "Tell-Tale" and next can be seen in Boaz Yakin's "Death in Love." His production company, Two Bridges, recently wrapped "The Boy in the Box," in which he plays the single father of a mentally challenged boy.
