Colin Farrell And Eric Bana In Talks For By Virtue Fall![]()
Back in the first half of the aughts, Colin Farrell became kind of a joke. He was choosing to be in some of the worst movies being made and was making an ass of himself publicly. Then, in 2008, Farrell decided to clean up his act and star in the first feature from playwright Martin McDonagh, In Bruges. His performance was a revelation and it made it okay to be a Colin Farrell fan again. With any luck, By Virtue Fall will keep that going.
Deadline is reporting that Farrell and Eric Bana are currently in negotiations to star in the film, which will be directed by Up In The Air co-writer Sheldon Turner. While details about the project are slim, Farrell and Bana would play two friends and co-workers who become enemies after one betrays the other. While both of the actors are interested in the film, their representatives have been unhappy with the salaries that have been offered so far. It would be fantastic if this deal worked out. Farrell and Bana are two of Hollywood's best imports working at the moment and seeing them square off in a heavy drama sounds like cinephile heaven. Neither actor has been scrounging for work as of late and this sounds like a project that has dual Best Actor nominations written all over it. Fellas, be open to a pay cut. |
