Jennifer Connelly, Cillian Murphy and Mélanie Laurent have all signed up for Claudia Llosa’s planned drama Cry/Fly. The project will mark the female director’s English-language debut. She previously made the Oscar nominated Peruvian film, The Milk Of Sorrow.
Cry/Fly follows two intertwining stories in Minnesota and northern Canada, which take place at different times. The first follows a mother (Jennifer Connelly) who is tragically seperated from her terminally ill daughter. The second happens 20 years later and follows her son. He is persuaded to search for his missing mother by a journalist. Doesn’t sound like a laugh-fest, but it could well worth watching.
Claudia Llosa will direct from her own script, with production expected to begin in February. (Source: Variety)
