Mad Men star joins Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller and Luke Evans in cast.
Mad Men and Top of the Lake star Elisabeth Moss has joined the cast of director Ben Wheatley and producer Jeremy Thomas’ dystopian thriller High-Rise.
Moss joins a cast that includes Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, Luke Evans, James Purefoy, Reece Shearsmith, Peter Ferdinando and comedian Dan Renton Skinner.
Directed by Wheatley from a screenplay by his wife and regular collaborator Amy Jump, the hotly anticipated film is an adaptation of JG Ballard’s classic British thriller.
The film is slated for a July start in Belfast, with Thomas producing through Recorded Picture Company.
HanWay handles sales with deals already closing with StudioCanal for UK and The Jokers for France.
Wheatley said: “Elizabeth Moss and Luke Evans are great additions to our cast. I’m really excited to be working with both of them. I’m looking forward to see what they will bring to the complex relationship between Richard and Helen Wilder.”
High-Rise centres on a new residential tower built on the eve of Thatcher’s England, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart. However, the tower block soon becomes home to violent tribal factions
