Child 44

^I'll have to give it a read soon, the first 2 books were great though. Tom Hardy as Leo and Rapace as his wife are superb casting though.

its a great end to the trilogy, i always wanted Vigo Mortensen (sp) as Leo. I imagined Leo being older.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^I have it there to read, will have to start it soon. Yeah Hardy may be a little too young looking, but he is a great actor and I can totally see him pulling Leo off.

Oldman joining Hardy and Rapace is awesome.

 

[Octoberist]

This is Oldman's fourth time with Hardy (Lawless, Tinker Tailor, Dark Knight Rises

 

[Schlosser85]

Hardy has called Oldman his acting hero, so I'm sure he's happy about getting to work with him so much.

Has there ever been any update on the Counselor?

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Wow, the cast for this is really shaping up, great so far, I REALLY hope they dont botch this, could be a great series of movies if done right.

Tom's gotten to co-star with him three times already--Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, TDKR, and Lawless, and now number four. I'm sure he's happy about that.

Tom and Noomi are also doing Animal Rescue together.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Anyone know the budget for this? It shouldnt be very high and I hope it isnt as I would love to see the whole trilogy adapted.

Philip Seymour Hoffman joins

EXCLUSIVE: The strong cast that director Daniel Espinosa assembled for Child 44 just got better. Philip Seymour Hoffman is negotiating to join Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Gary Oldman, and Joel Kinnaman in the film. The picture is being made by Summit Entertainment and co-financed and executive produced by Worldview Entertainment.

An adaptation of the Tom Rob Smith bestseller, the Richard Price-scripted Child 44 focuses on a member of the Soviet military police who investigates a series of nasty child murders during Stalin-era Soviet Union. His biggest impediment is a government that refuses to acknowledge a serial killer is in their midst. Ridley Scott is producing under his Scott Free Productions banner with Michael Schaefer and Greg Shapiro. Worldview’s Christopher Woodrow, Molly Conners, Maria Cestone, Sarah Johnson Redlich will executive produce.

Hoffman is coming off an Oscar nominated turn in The Master, and he’s starring in the sequel The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Summit Entertainment will distribute Child 44 domestically with Lionsgate handling international sales. Hoffman joins the film mid-swing, as principal photography began June 10th in Prague. Hoffman is repped by attorney Robert Marshall.

Worldview is separately in production on the Alejandro González Iñárritu-directed Birdman, the Kate Barker-Froyland-directed Song One with Anne Hathaway; and the David Gordon Green-directed drama Manglehorn with Al Pacino. It premiered the James Gray-directed The Immigrant at Cannes as well as the Guillaume Canet-directed Blood Ties and the Arnaud Desplechin-directed drama Jimmy P. with Benicio Del Toro.

Just bought the book and I'll start once I'm done with inferno

 

[Octoberist]

The Dan Brown novel? Or Larry Niven's?

 

[The Dark Defender]

This cast gets more ridiculously good every time I look into it.

 

[Octoberist]

This could be an amazing film, and I'm tempted to buy the book!

 

[jacobed]

The Dan Brown novel? Or Larry Niven's?

Dan Brown. I know he's not the greatest writer in the world, but I get sucked in everytime by his books
