…Pictures' "Clover-verse". "… we have word that Overlord will be adding Jovan Adepo (Fences) and Wyatt Russell (22 Jump Street) as the leads of the mysterious film. Directed by Julius Avery (Son of a Gun) and scripted by Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) and Mark L. Smith (The Revenant), Overlord will follow a group of American paratroopers dropped behind enemy lines on the eve of D-Day.
