The cast also includes actors Ian McShane (“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” and “Deadwood”) and Nick Frost (“Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz”).
The new film will be the directorial debut of Rupert Sanders and the screenplay was written by Hossein Amini, who just wrote the screenplay for the Ryan Gosling film “Drive.”
