Here's some more good news in the upcoming projects mill: Roman Polanski is finally putting out a new thriller, a political one starring Nic Cage, Pierce Brosnan, and Tilda Swinton. Cage will play a ghost writer doing the memoirs of the British PM (Brosnan) who, in the process, uncovers secrets that bring about world peace. :p And by "bring about world peace" I mean, threaten his life, national security, etc. Swinton will play Brosnan's wife, and who's not looking forward to seeing her again?
On the TV front, the always fantastic Aidan Quinn and Rutger Hauer have joined the cast of an ABC pilot, The Prince of Motor City, inspired by Hamlet. Quinn plays their version of Claudius, and Hauer will be their version of the ghost. Gosh. It sounds like it'll be really good, but since Quinn's last incredible ABC series, Canterbury's Law, was dumped after seven or so episodes, and that fell under the popular category of lawyer shows, I'm not expecting a show based on the significantly less pop-culture popular Shakespeare to last any longer. But there's always room for surprises. Yessss!
