Haggis Adds Three To The Next Three DaysBy Perri Nemiroff: 2009-09-24 16:23:07
Paul Haggis nabbed three more actors for his remake of the 2008 film Pour Elle called The Next Three Days. Wait, a remake of a film from 2008? No, Haggis isn’t getting ahead of himself; Pour Elle is a French thriller; odds are, nobody in the US has seen it.
According to THR, Haggis recruited eight-year-old Ty Simpkins to play the son of Elizabeth Banks and Russell Crowe’s characters. Their marriage is put to the test when Banks’ character is accused of a murder she claims she didn’t commit. She’s thrown in jail and her husband devises a risky plan to free her. Tony winner Brian Dennehy is still in negotiations to play Crowe’s character’s father while rapper RZA has signed on, but his role is unknown. Great for Simpkins, Dennehy and RZA, but I still think Haggis should have chosen Diane Kruger for the leading lady role. Not only is she all the rage after Inglorious Basterds, but she played the role in Pour Elle. Oh well, Banks is a fine choice, as is Crowe. All the pressure for this project is on Haggis anyway. So far, there’s nothing to make me think The Next Three Days will crash and burn (pun intended), but Haggis has a whole lot of dirt to wipe off his shoulder.
