Remember "Spud" from Trainspotting? Ewen Bremner joins Chris Evans, Jamie Bell, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Octavia Spencer in Bong Joon-ho's loose adaptation of French graphic Novel Le Transperceneige. According to Variety..
Bremner plays a father who joins forces with Evans' character to save his kidnapped son
From what we know so far about the movie it's set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews. Evans will play the hero, we assume the other cast members various passengers aboard the train. The above description of Bremner's character obviously means there will be a kidnapping element to the plot also. Production is expected to start in March though no distribution is yet in place.
Bremner has also appeared in such movies as
Pearl Harbor, Judge Dredd, Black Hawk Down and
Alien Vs Predator.
