STEPHEN FRY'S 'THE LIAR'
FINDS A STELLAR ENSEMBLE!
The Liar was Stephen Fry's first book
Meanwhile, over in Britain, a rather stellar cast has been gathered around THE LIAR, the big screen adaptation of Stephen Fry's novel. Strangely, he is not directing, he left the helm to Tony Hagger whose feature debut this is. Rupert Everett, Charles Dance, Tom Wilkinson, David Walliams, Sally Phillips and Asa Butterfield will star in the film with this plot:
The educational career of an impossibly smug public schoolboy, compulsive liar and Oscar Wilde wannabe, Adrian Healey, whose duplicitous pranks and game playing somehow get him embroiled in an international espionage case with his university professors. As fuge and subterfuge feature, Adrian searches for the meaning of life; well, his life anyway.
It's been one of those days today when you wake up and say - We shall have a Stanley Tucci day at Hollywood Spy! It's not that we don't have good reasons beside him being so dashing. One of his new movie projects is currently in pre production. THE MAN WHO SAVED PARIS will have a rather stellar cast as beside him we shall also see Kristin Scott Thomas, Jean Reno and Tom Wilkinson in this period set drama. The story will follow the most successful brothel owner in Paris during the 1940's who is asked by the government to restore the city's image (City of Love, Romance, Light) after the Nazi occupation and falls in love when he least expects it. The movie is being directed by Andy Tennant (Hitch, Sweet Home Alabama).
