"landscapes and set pieces, but it looks great so far. In terms of the story, here's what The Cross is about: 'Mylar (Bloom) and his younger brother Castro come to a town to cross the border in search of a better life. The two travelers, full of hope, all too quickly realize that their journey leads them to a world full of doom. The enigmatic border is strictly enforced by a guard who prohibits anyone from ever leaving. Mylar defies all odds and becomes the first to successfully cross. And he also becomes the first to come back… all for the love of a woman, Vera.' "

"The Cross" Cast adds a new member!

Thanks to email updates from Google, I have learned from several sites that John Goodman has joined the cast of "The Cross"!!

Here is one of the sites' articles..

"This is hardly big news, but Andrew Niccol’s The Cross interests me merely on the cast he has lined up alone, and with that in mind any opportunity to mention it is seen as a good thing. This time around it is a small bit of casting news from Variety telling us John Goodman is in advanced talks to join the cast of the sci-fi film which will begin shooting in mid-September in Australia and is scheduled for a May 2010 theatrical release. Goodman joins a cast made up of Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel and Olga Kurylenko.

The Cross is set in a border town the film is set in the near future. Bloom plays a man seeking to cross a mysterious border, something no one else has achieved; Cassel will play the sentry who wants to stop him.

Unfortunately details on Goodman’s role are not mentioned." (ropesofsilicon.com"

Things are getting exciting!!

The Cross - Another New Project

Variety.com reports that Orlando is to star in The Cross, a $24 million sci-fi escape story, which is scheduled to start principal photography in July in Australia.

Set against the backdrop of a futuristic border town, Orlando plays a man seeking to cross a mysterious border, something no one else has achieved. Vincent Cassel, meanwhile, is the guard who will go to any lengths to foil him.
