New Project for Colin…and sounds interesting.
One film, which has been in development for years has just found its way to production, bringing together two A-listers: Colin Farrell and Anthony Hopkins.
Solace is a suspense thriller following a retired doctor, who once helped authorities catch dangerous killers. After the death of his loving daughter, he loses his nerve and is forced to leave his post. Years later, an FBI agent comes knocking on his door with the request of helping him track down a sadistic serial killer, played by Farrell.
And how do you catch a serial killer, again? By asking for the expertise of Hannibal Lecter, of course!
But before all that, we’re going to see Farrell shoot some criminals in Dead Man Down, which opens in cinemas in March.
New Project for Colin!
Variety bring word that Liv Ullmann is returning to the director’s chair with Jessica Chastain as her leading lady. Ullmann will helm an adaptation of the classic Swedish battle-of-the-sexes play, ‘Miss Julie,’ which will star Chastain and Colin Farrell. Samantha Morton is also on board to co-star in the adaptation of the August Strindberg play. The original story took place in 1874 at the estate of the Count of Sweden, and follows a woman trying to escape an existence cramped by social mores who is suddenly drawn to a senior servant (presumably Farrell’s role?).
‘Miss Julie’ would mark the first project for Jessica Chastain since her Oscar nomination and Golden Globe for ‘Zero Dark Thirty.’ Besides ‘Zero Dark Thirty,’ Chastain can also be seen in ‘Mama,’ which has made $50 million in North America. She is currently starring in the Broadway play ‘The Heiress.’ Colin Farrell has a busy 2013 ahead of him with roles in ‘Dead Man Down,’ ‘A Winter’s Tale’ and Disney’s ‘Saving Mr. Banks.’ As for Liv Ullmann, the last film she helmed was 2000′s Swedish pic ‘Faithless.’ More recently, she directed Cate Blanchett and Joel Edgerton onstage in ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’ in 2009. Samantha Morton was last seen on the big screen in David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis.’ Expect more details soon.
