Several weeks ago,
Production Weekly announced that
James McAvoy and several other actors had been offered roles in
Tom Tykwer's adaptation of
Cloud Atlas. According to
The Playlist,
Tykewer was recently in LA, meeting with potential cast members and James
McAvoy is now officially attached to the film.
Tom Hanks,
Halle Berry, and
Natalie Portman are also officially attached, but
Ian McKellen's involvement is still up in the air.
Cloud Atlas doesn't have any financing or studio backing yet, so the project is still a long way from production. Based on
David Mitchell's 2003 novel,
Cloud Atlas focuses on six main characters and spans across thousands of years - from the 19
th century to the distant future.
On the
Gnomeo and Juliet front, the 3D animated film has
just completed a UK and Canadian distribution deal with E1. It's schedule to open in February 2011 in the UK and Canada. Meanwhile, Disney will be distributing the film in America on February 11, 2011.
James McAvoy (Gnomeo), Emily Blunt (Juliet), Matt Lucas (Benny), Maggie Smith (Lady Blueberry), Michael Caine (Lord Redbrick), Stephen Merchant (Paris), Ashley Jensen (Nanette), Jason Statham (Tybalt) and Ozzy Osborne lend their voices to the comic make-over of Shakespeare’s tragedy set in the world of warring indoor and outdoor gnomes.
