Robert De Niro, Sigourney Weaver and now Cillian Murphy teaming up for a movie is an interesting enough proposition on its own, and the fact it’s going to be directed by Buried’s Rodrigo Cortes only ups the anticipation.
The news that Cillian Murphy is in the movie was released in a slightly unexpected way, with Shock Til You Drop finding a preview poster for the movie at the American Film Market, which gives the Irish actor top billing. Quite who he’ll play isn’t known, as the main thrust of the movie is supposedly about a para-psychologist who attempts to debunk a very reputable psychic who has just returned to the limelight after 30 years. Sigorney Weaver has been attached to the flick for a while now, playing the woman who, along with her assistant, plans to debunk a world-renowned psychic, played by De Niro.
Presumably Murphy will play the assistant, although that hasn’t been officially announced. Last we heard, the movie was set to start shooting in Spain and Canada next February.
