| | E' da un po' che in questo film c'erano solo Clive e Anil Kapoor (l'attore che in The Millionaire fa il presentatore del programma tv) - VEDI IMDB - ma ora pare che: CITAZIONE Kirsten Dunst e Orlando Bloom in Cities
Era il 2005 quando Kirsten Dunst e Orlando Bloom recitavano fianco a fianco nel film romantico di Cameron Crowe Elizabethtown.
Sette anni dopo la coppia si incontrerà nuovamente sul grande schermo, questa volta in un thriller scritto e diretto da Roger Donaldson (La rapina perfetta, 13 Days) e intitolato Cities.
Nel cast sono già stati scritturati Clive Owen e Anil Kapoor, per quello che ha tutta l'aria di essere un film corale. La sinossi ufficiale fa pensare infatti a pellicole come Babel o Traffic, in cui diverse storie ambientate in varie parti del mondo sono collegate fra loro:
"Cities è una storia di avidità e ambizione ambientata nei caotici mesi che hanno preceduto il picco massimo dell'indice Dow Jones. Fortune grandi e piccole vengono messe a rischio perché la gente intorno al mondo si illude che la rapida ascesa del mercato finanziario continuerà per sempre. A New York, un manager di fondi speculativi (Owen) ha tutto ciò che desidera - soldi, sesso e potere, ma vuole di più. A Londra, una giovane coppia vuole comprare la propria prima casa, che sembra però fuori dalla loro portata. A Mumbai, un poliziotto combatte la corruzione fra i proprietari speculatori e il suo collega Seth (Kapoor). Queste storie collidono in modo drammatico in un mondo in cui le fortune individuali sono intessute con le vite di altre persone che non hanno mai nemmeno incontrato."
Le riprese di Cities inizieranno in primavera e si divideranno fra Londra, Mumbai e New York.
Non è ancora stata fissata una data d'uscita. fonte: BadTaste.it speriamo sia vero!! *___* e Clive non è più una spia finalmente!!! ma un businessman  di New York!!! e qui dicono che Kristen sarà nella storia di New York con Clive!! CITAZIONE Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst Join Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor in CITIESLast time Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom got together, it was for 2005′s disastrous Elizabethtown, whose greatest legacy is inspiring the mostly pejorative term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl.” That failure should be attributed to Cameron Crowe being excessively Cameron Crowe-y, though, rather than the Dunst/Bloom team. So when, Dunst and Bloom reunite in Cities, the form a solid cast with fellow stars Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire). The script from writer/director Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) follows three international stories, interwoven by the financial ties between strangers. In New York, a hedge fund manager (Owen) chases money and power. In London, a young couple is trying to buy their first home. In Mumbai, a cop fights against corruption between property speculators and his shady colleague (Kapoor). Dunst is part of the New York storyline; Bloom’s role is not specified, but I am guessing the Englishman is half of the London couple.For all the details on Cities, read the press release after the jump. Owen spoke a bit about Cities when we caught up with him at the Toronto International Film Festival, when it was still not totally confirmed. Owen described his role, “I play a very serious hedge funder, who gets a bit over confident.”Here’s the press release: CITAZIONE KIRSTEN DUNST AND ORLANDO BLOOM TRAVEL TO ROGER DONALDSON’S “CITIES”
Thesps Join Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor
Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom have joined Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor in acclaimed director/writer Roger Donaldson’s (THE BANK JOB, 13 DAYS) next directing project titled CITIES.
The international thriller is being produced by Matthew Metcalfe (DEAN SPANLEY, LOVE BIRDS) and Chris Curling (HANNIBAL RISING, THE LAST STATION).
Julie Christie, Eyeworks New Zealand CEO, will executive produce alongside Eyeworks New Zealand who will partner on the production. Lisa Wilson’s Parlay Films is handling international rights to the film that is set to lens in Spring 2012. The film will shoot in multiple cities that will include London, Mumbai and New York.
CITIES reunites Dunst and Bloom who first appeared together in Cameron Crowe’s indie comedy ELIZABETHTOWN in 2005. Kirsten Dunst joins the cast in the role of “Kate” alongside Clive Owen. Dunst most recently won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival for her role in Lars von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA. She was nominated for a Golden Globe for her supporting actress role in INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE and appeared in SPIDER-MAN 1, 2 and 3 opposite Tobey Maguire. Her additional credits include Sofia Coppola’s VIRGIN SUICIDES and MARIE ANTOINETTE as well as BRING IT ON, LITTLE WOMEN and the romantic comedy WIMBLEDON.
Bloom is currently filming Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY marking the fourth time the film director and actor have worked together – Bloom also appeared in the blockbuster LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Bloom’s credits include the record breaking PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movies 1, 2 and 3 and he can currently be seen in the highly anticipated THE THREE MUSKETEERS.
“CITIES is very much a movie for our time,” states Donaldson. “The subjects of greed and money and their impact on our every day lives surround us constantly and CITIES is a movie that will explore this in a dramatic way with tension and excitement at every turn.”
CITIES is a cautionary tale about greed and ambition that takes place in the exuberant months leading up to the Dow Jones all-time stock market high. Fortunes, both big and small are put at risk as people around the globe gamble that the financial market’s meteoric rise will continue. In New York, a hedge fund manager (OWEN) has everything he wants – money, sex and power, but he wants more. In London, a young couple just want to buy their first home, but it seems impossibly out of reach. In Mumbai, a cop fights against corruption between property speculators and his villainous colleague Seth (KAPOOR). These stories will all dramatically collide in a world where the fortunes of individuals are interwoven with the lives of others across the globe they have never even met.
UTA’s Independent Film Group helped to package the film and structure the financing, and will represent domestic rights with CAA.
