Christopher Eccleston checks in with ‘Amelia’

christophereccleston.jpgThe cast keeps growing for Mira Nair’s upcoming biopic “Amelia,” and the latest to board the project is Christopher Eccleston, according to Variety.

The film takes a closer look at the life and career of Amelia Earhart, who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself in 1937. Hilary Swank will play the title character, with Eccleston starring as her navigator.

Also on board are Ewan McGregor, Richard Gere and Virginia Madsen. Eccleston is known for his appearances on “Doctor Who” and “Heroes.” He also recently wrapped filming “G.I. Joe,” in which he will play Destro.

I have to admit the cast is pretty impressive, and I’m excited to see how they will handle this truly fascinating true story. Plus, I would like to see Swank deliver a solid performance again. After “The Reaping” and “P.S. I Love You,” it’s about time.
