Moore, Neeson to star in 'Chloe'

Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried have signed on to star in Atom Egoyan's upcoming thriller "Chloe."

According to Variety, the film follows a doctor (Moore) who hires an escort (Seyfried) to test her husband's (Neeson) fidelity. Things start to heat up when her decision puts her family in danger.

Egoyan, whose credits include "Where the Truth Lies" and "The Sweet Hereafter," is directing a script by Erin Cressida.

Ivan Reitman and Tom Pollock, among others, are producing, with Jason Reitman on board as executive producer. Shooting is set for February, according to the trade.

Moore was last seen in "Blindness." She's recently completed "The Private Lives of Pippa Lee." Other upcoming project of hers include "A Single Man" and "Shelter."

As for Neeson, he will soon be seen in Oliver Hirschbiegel's "Five Minutes of Heaven." Seyfried most recently starred in last summer's box office phenomenon "Mamma Mia!"

Colin Firth is ‘A Single Man’

Colin Firth, Julianne Moore and Matthew Goode are set to star in Tom Ford’s directorial debut “A Single Man.”

According to Variety, the film follows a British college professor who loses his partner of 16 years. I know it’s not much, but that’s all we know at this stage.

Ford and David Scearce adapted Christopher Isherwood’s novel, which details one day in a professor’s life in Los Angeles.

I assume Firth is on board as the lead character. Firth most recently starred in Universal’s hit musical “Mamma Mia!” He recently wrapped filming for “Dorian Gray.

As for Moore, she was last seen in “Blindness.” She has several projects coming up, including “The Private Lives of Pippa Lee” and “Shelter.”

Goode last starred in “Brideshead Revisited.” He’ll appear in Zack Snyder’s upcoming actioner “Watchmen.”

Review: “Blindness”

Seen on: October 3, 2008

The players: Director: Fernando Meirelles, Writers: Don McKellar, Jose Saramago (book), Cast: Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Danny Glover, Alice Braga

Facts of interest: Opened this year's Cannes Film Festival.

The plot: The film follows a small group of people struggling to survive after an epidemic of blindness descends upon their city.

Our thoughts: Fernando Meirelles’ “Blindness” is not as powerful or engaging as his previous works “The Constant Gardener” and “Cidade de Deus,” but the film is definitely not as bas as some critics made it out to be. The nature of the subject matter examined in this mystery thriller is one that concerns all of us, but it’s the way it is presented here that may not be appealing to large audiences.

'Blindness' web reviews

Fernando Meirelles returns to the big screen with "Blindness," a mystery thriller about an epidemic of blindness that descends upon a large city. Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore star in the lead roles. The film premiered at Cannes and pulled mixed reviews. Let's see what our online friends have to say about it:

• Katey Rich at Cinema Blend: "A sharp view of humanity with a glimmer of hope, 'Blindness' is a movie for our times-- flawed, brutal, with key moments of brilliance."

LatinoReview's Ron Henriques: "Though the third act takes the picture in a direction filled with hope and perhaps freedom, the dramatic power is already lost and the story is turned into nothing more than a morality tale."

• James Rocchi at Cinematical: "But while Blindness can be faulted for many things, it also has to be respected for its ambition, craft, and effort."

In the film starring Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore, an epidemic of blindness descends upon a large city.
