Variety report that Tilda Swinton and Jamie Bell are in talks to join Chris in Bong Joon-ho's Snow Piercer. Joon-ho co wrote the script, loosely based on a French graphic novel called Le Transperceneige, with another great Korean director Park Chan-Wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance)
The story follows a train full of travelers who struggle to co-exist in a futuristic world covered in snow and ice. Evans would play the lead, no word yet as to which roles Swinton and Bell are up for. This is fast becoming something to keep an eye on. Joon-ho's
The Host is truly a remarkable movie, never really seen anything like it. We all know how great Evans can be, and Swinton (
Constantine, We Need To Talk About Kevin) and Bell (
King Kong, The Adeventures Of Tintin) are both at the top of their games right now.
Chan-wook is producing through Moho Films. Production is expected to start in March, though no distribution is yet in place.
