Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy are reportedly already on board to star in the whole thing, while Melanie Laurent is still in some serious talks to join them.
Cry/Fly story is set in Minnesota and northern Canada over two time periods, and centers on a mother whose six-year-old daughter is terminally ill.
A dramatic event will soon separate the mother from her child and falcon-keeper son, but 20 years later, the son is persuaded by a journalist to embark on a search for his now-famous mother.
At this moment we know that Connelly is set to play that mother, while Laurent should come on board to play a French journalist. As for Cillian Murphy – still no details about his character.
The good thing is that we'll soon have more updates on the whole thing, because Cry/Fly starts shooting in February.
Make sure you stay tuned!
