Way back in September 2010 Liam Hemsworth was circling Fallen, but he moved on due to the fact the film was stuck in development (and was also passed around Hollywood, as it was originally being developed by Disney). However now it’s moving forward again with Deadline reporting that Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Addison Timlin (Stand Up Guys) have joined the cast.
The film is based on Lauren Kate’s young adult supernatural fantasy novel about an alienated teen girl, Luce Price (Timlin), who is drawn to the mysterious and aloof Daniel Grigori (Irvine) from the moment she sees him on her first day at the Sword & Cross boarding school in Savannah, Georgia. He’s the one bright spot in a place where cell phones are forbidden, the other students are all screw-ups, and security cameras watch their every move.
Even though Daniel wants nothing to do with Luce, she can’t let go and has to find out what Daniel is so desperate to keep secret. As secrets unfurl, it becomes clear Daniel may not be what he appears, and there could be a reason he seems so familiar.
Scott Hicks (The Lucky One) is directing from a screenplay co-written by author Lauren Kate, Nichole Millard and Kathryn Price. It isn’t clear when it will shoot.
