Kristin Scott Thomas, Jeremy Irons, and Tony Shalhoub join TANGIERS （May 18th, 2010 ）
Over the weekend it was announced that Sean Gullette, star and writer of Darren Aronofsky’s first feature film PI, was set to make his directorial debut with the thriller, TANGIERS. Aronofsky is on board to produce, and the film is set to star Emile Hirsch as well.
Today however, Inferno Entertainment which is currently working on the film’s foreign sales at Cannes, is now reporting (via The Playlist) that the cast will also include Kristin Scott Thomas, Jeremy Irons, and Tony Shalhoub. The film follows “a young AWOL soldier [as he] jumps ship in Tangiers and is hired to look after a wealthy socialite whose husband appears to be involved in a terrifying espionage.”
While this cast should be enough to get anyone interested, it’s still the two leads of this film, Gullette and Aronofsky, that have me waiting ever so patiently to check this film out. PI is an absolutely brilliant film, and it will be interesting to see just what the filmmaker has taken from Aronofsky, who may be one of today’s most gifted directors. Then there is this awesome cast, that a first time filmmaker couldn’t ask for a better situation. Let’s just hope it can live up to the hype.
