Casting: Ageless Cumberbatch and Daniels Foretelling Trouble
Hollywood filmmakers regularly bring literary plots to screens. Sometimes they strictly follow the letter of the original, and sometimes they treat it quite freely. Be that as it may, books remain an inexhaustible source of inspiration for screenwriters and directors. It is not surprising that the press once again reported that two first-tier actors at once got roles in projects with adapted scripts.According to The Hollywood Reporter , Benedict Cumberbatch will embody on the screen the image of a person with a very strange disease - physical immortality. How To Stop Time * will be based on the novel of the same name by Matt Haig , which will go on sale in July.The tape will tell the extraordinary love story of the teacher Tom Hazard , who looks 41 years old, although in fact his age has long passed several centuries.Information about the production time and release date of the project will be announced later. Fans of Marvel comics remember that manipulating time Benedict is not the first time - a few months ago he did a similar trick in the blockbuster Doctor Strange. True, the plot of the latter involved real magical practices, and not the genetic characteristics of the protagonist.  Meanwhile, Jeff Daniels ("The Martian") has landed the lead role in the doc-drama of Hulu . The ten-hour miniseries The Looming Tower * ( The Looming Tower ) will be based on the novel of the same name by Lawrence Wright.Its storyline will revolve around Osama bin Laden and the infamous Islamist terrorist organization Al-Qaeda , and shed light on the FBI-CIA conflict that could have inadvertently set the stage for the 9/11 tragedy. In short, the authors of the project intend to talk about the events that preceded the terrorist attack.  Jeff Daniels will play the cocky John O'Neill , the head of the FBI's counterterrorism department in New York, who suspected that " Al-Qaeda " was planning some action against the United States. The miniseries will go into production once two-time Oscar nominee Dan Futterman (Fox Hunter) finishes adapting the book for small screens. The project will be staged by the Academy Award Winner Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side). * - preliminary translation options are indicated hereinafter.
