This afternoon Indiewire announced the merging of two production companies into a new company called Dreamachine – and one of Dreamachine’s slated projects is Gerald McMorrow’s Franklyn, with Paul, Ewan McGregor, Eva Green, and John Hurt set to star! This post will be edited as I dig up more info.
Edit: Yep, Paul’s going genre-hopping again. Franklyn is a sci-fi thriller. From JoBlo.com: “a story that spins a dual narrative – one set in present day London and another in a future metropolis controlled by religious tyranny – in which the lives of four people across these two parallel worlds are connected by a single gunshot.” My ten bucks is on Paul playing a futuristic religious tyrant. *grins*
Edit 2: Talk about Franklyn on the new forum board here. It’s under “The Grapevine” until further confirmation comes along.
Last Edit: Visit PBnet’s new Franklyn info page here. Not much there yet, of course.
