Hows this for a scoop???? According to HollywoodHype.com, Daniel Day Lewis, one of the greatest actors of all time, is "in talks" with Neil Blomkamp to star alongside Michael Reese Meyers' in The Boy Who Got Away. If you don't already know, we updated that Michael signed on to this project a few months ago. It takes place in Sweden, will be filmed in Swedish with English subtitles, and is about a wealthy politician (Lewis) whose political aspirations are put in danger when his competitor brings up old wounds about Lewis' teenage son who was murdered several years earlier in which it went unsolved. He hires the police to help solve the mystery and Meyers plays a young female (yes, FEMALE) hacker with a criminal past who agrees to help the police with their investigation in exchange for a clean record. The film is scheduled to come out on December 21, 2011, just in time for the inevitable awards it will no doubt garner. I can totally see Michael getting a Best Actor nod and Daniel a Best Supporting Actor nod as well. Can't wait for this. Stay tuned since nothing is final yet...
Tidbit: According to my sources, movie website Dark Horizons.com is going to have a set visit for Tears of the Sun at the end of the month so hopefully we will get some pics/footage/interview quotes or something with Michael from the set as he plays one of his most chameleon roles yet, a 55 year old astronaut.
