Closer to the Moon is the next project for accalimed Romanian director Nae Caranfil and tonight the two lead actors have been announced, names which will guarantee a lot of interest for the production.
According to Deadline Mark Strong and Vera Farmiga have signed on to star in the period drama about a former Bucharest police officer who robbed a bank under the pretence of filming a movie and are then made to re-enact the robbert for a propaganda film. Farmiga plays Strong’s former partner and mother of his child who returns during the incident. It’s an odd sounding tale but Strong and Farmiga have chosen some interesting projects in recent years with Strong’s forthcoming slate comprising of John Carter, Black Gold and Tinker, Tailor, Solider, Spy while Farmiga has Safe House with Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as well as the leading role in Robert Connolly’s adaptation of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge.
Caranfil is very well known in his native Romania and he’s managed to recruit two big names for his next film. More on this one as we get it.
