Zack and Deborah Snyder are producing through their Cruel & Unusual banner. Pic begins shooting in early fall.

Gugino, who just completed a Broadway run in "Desire Under the Elms," next stars in the Sebastian Gutierrez-directed "Women in Trouble." She plays a porn star who discovers she's pregnant.
