Roger Donaldson, the director behind films like THE BANK JOB, THE WORLD’S FASTEST INDIAN and THE RECRUIT will next take hold of a project called CITIES.
The planned film will star Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) and will star shooting in October 2011.
The flick, according to Coming Soon, ” is a cautionary tale about greed and ambition that takes place in the exuberant months leading up to the Dow Jones all-time stock market high. Fortunes, both big and small are put at risk as people around the globe gamble that the financial market’s meteoric rise will continue. In New York, a hedge fund manager has everything he wants – money, sex and power, but he wants more. In London, a young couple just want to buy their first home, but it seems impossibly out of reach. In Mumbai, a cop fights against corruption between property speculators and his colleagues. These stories will all dramatically collide in a world where the fortunes of individuals are interwoven with the lives of others across the globe they have never even met.”
CITIES will be produced by Matthew Metcalfe and Chris Curling. Donaldson wrote the script, adapted from an original screenplay called “Extreme Cities” by Glenn Wilhide.
