Abbie Cornish Finds Solace Alongside Colin Farrell & Anthony Hopkins

abbie-cornishAbbie Cornish obviously enjoyed working with Colin Farrell on Seven Psychopaths, as she’s now in talks to reteam the actor on the thriller Solace for director Afonso Poyart, according to Variety.

The movie is about an FBI agent (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who enlists the help of a renowned psychic (Anthony Hopkins) to help catch a vicious serial killer (Colin Farrell). No details were given for Abbie Cornish’s character at this time, although it’s described as being the female lead.

Afonso Poyart is directing from a screenplay by Sean Bailey (Tron: Legacy), Ted Griffin (Ocean’s Eleven), James Vanderbilt (White House Down), and Peter Morgan (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). After several delays, filming is set to get under way next month.

Alfonso Poyart Eyes Anthony Hopkins’ Solace

Despite the fact he feels a bit like he’s been coasting for the past decade, Anthony Hopkins is still a name to conjure with. Now he’s putting together a supernatural thriller called Solace, and Variety reports Brazilian director Afonso Poyart is now in talks to direct.

The film centres on a doctor (Hopkins) with psychic abilities, who hunts down a serial killer. No production start date has been set. The Queen’s Peter Morgan is currently revising his script, with Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson producing.

This project will mark Poyart’s English-language debut, after gaining attention for his Brazilian hit 2 Coelhos (a.k.a. Two Rabbits), which he starred in, directed, wrote and produced.
