Before reading about the casting for Night Train to Lisbon, I had never even heard of the film. After reading about said casting, though, I’m pretty damn excited. That’s because, as Variety tells us, the existential thriller from Bille August will have Melanie Laurent, Vanessa Redgrave, and Bruno Ganz starring with Christopher Lee, Lena Olin, Martina Gedeck, and Jack Huston (who’s been absolutely amazing on Boardwalk Empire). Jeremy Irons previously joined the cast, and he will be leading the film.
The picture, based on Pascal Mercier‘s novel and written by Ulrich Herrmann and Greg Latter, centers on “a Swiss professor who, having saved a beautiful Portuguese woman from leaping to her death, stumbles upon a mesmerizing book by a Portuguese author that compels him to leave his boring life and embark on an adventure in search of the scribe.” Considering its predominantly European cast, a continent-hopping quest seems likely.
