Her most recent appearance was in the sports drama Unstoppable, and she has the musical drama Kiss of the Spider-Woman, directed by Bill Condon, set to release in October after debuting at Sundance in January. Meanwhile, Zemeckis is coming off the drama Here, which brought him back together with Forrest Gump stars Tom Hanks and Robin Wright.
