Mirren and McAvoy in The Last Station
How on earth did I miss this news? Doing a little bit of back-peddling research I can’t even find an announcement of the project but better late than never.
The guys at WAMG have uncovered the first photos, very small photos at that, of James McAvoy and Helen Mirren in the upcoming The Last Station, a film adaptation of the best selling novel of the same title. According to IMDb, the film is “a historical drama that illustrates Russian author Leo Tolstoy’s struggle to balance fame and wealth with his commitment to a life devoid of material things”.
If McAvoy and Mirren aren’t enough of a sell, the film also includes Anne-Marie Duff, Paul Giamatti and Christopher Plummer as Tolstoy.
Not much to go on at the moment. Director Michael Hoffman has a few film credits to his name, most of which are mediocre titles including A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Restoration. To boot, the photos don’t reveal much about the film other than the fact that Mirren seems to be in fine form. We’ll be keeping you updated as new details of the project develop.
