LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Nicolas Cage, Pierce Brosnan and Tilda Swinton
reportedly are set to star in "The Ghost," a political thriller Roman
Polanski plans to film soon in Europe.
Variety.com said production on the big-screen adaptation of Robert
Harris' book is to begin in September.
Polanski decided to make the film last year after he dropped out of
the $100 million epic "Pompeii," another adaptation of one of Harris'
books, the entertainment industry trade paper said.
Polanski and Harris co-wrote the screenplay for "The Ghost," which is
about a replacement ghostwriter hired to finish the memoirs of an
ex-British prime minister after the first author mysteriously died.
Cage is to play the second ghostwriter, while Brosnan will play the
former prime minister and Swinton will play his wife, Variety.com
said.
Polanski's films include "Chinatown," "Rosemary's Baby" and "The
Pianist."
