Focus Features Announces New Thriller with Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall

This one looks to be great. Eric Bana (seen above from his recent turn in HANNA) and Rebecca Hall are signed up to star in an upcoming untitled international thriller to begin production in April from Focus Features and Working Title Films. The film is from an original screenplay by Steven Knight, who'd originally penned David Cronenberg's Russian mafia yarn EASTERN PROMISES, and will be directed by John Crowley, who gained international attention with his Boy A. In the thriller, two ex-lovers, Martin (Bana) and Claudia (Hall) find their loyalties tested and their lives at risk when they are joined together on the defense team in a terrorism trial. Focus CEO James Schamus and President Andrew Karpen said, "Working Title and John Crowley have not only crafted a nail-biting thriller, but an emotional rollercoaster as well - one that speaks to the heart of the human condition in our time."  Get the full press release here.
