Wilson and adapted for the screen by Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods), Robopocalypse centres on the fate of humanity following a robot uprising and is set to be Spielberg's next project following the release of his upcoming biopic Lincoln. It is currently scheduled to arrive in cinemas on April 25th, 2014.
Hathaway will next be seen in the musical Les Misérables and is also set to lend her voice to the animated sequel Rio 2, while Hemsworth has a host of projects in the pipeline, including the Red Dawn remake, the currently in production Thor: The Dark World, and fellow sequels Snow White and the Huntsman 2 and The Avengers 2.
