Anna Friel to explore 'Dark Fields'

The last time we saw Anna Friel ("Goal II: Living the Dream") on the big screen, it was in that awfully lame "Land of the Lost" remake with Will Ferrell. One movie we will see her in soon is Neil Burger's thriller "Dark Fields," which also stars Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish.

Cooper will play a writer whose life drastically changes when he comes across a pill that enables him to access the full capacity of his brain. Just as he starts to enjoy sudden success, he realizes the drug also carries negative effects, and before he knows it, he's being pursued by a bunch of bad guys.

The Hollywood Reporter says Friel will play his ex-wife. The film is based on a novel by Alan Glynn, and Leslie Dixon wrote the script. Burger also directed "The Illusionist."
