They join star Brendan Fraser, Paul Bettany and Jim Broadbent in the tale of a father who brings characters from books to life by reading stories aloud to his daughter. Mirren (The Queen) will portray the book collector Elinor Loredan while Serkis ("Lord of the Rings") will play the villain Capricorn. Iain Softley is directing INKHEART from a screenplay by David Lindsay-Abaire. Production begins next month in Italy and then shifts to London. |
