In addition to repeating his Nixon performance in the Ron Howard film
based on Peter Morgan's London and Broadway play, Variety reports that
the three-time Tony winner will star as an energy industry executive in
"On the Hook," an independent thriller being produced by Linda Moran and
Rene Bastian.
Richard Ledes ("A Hole in One") will direct Langella, Elliott Gould and
Laura Harring in the picture. The screenplay is by Alan Didier-Weill. "On
the Hook" will shoot this summer. Roadside Attractions snagged worldwide
rights to Andrew Wagner's 2007 Sundance film, "Starting Out in the
Evening," which also stars Langella as a writer who has a relationship
with a graduate student played by Lauren Ambrose. That movie is expected
to have a fall release.
"Frost/Nixon" film production begins later this year, following the
limited engagement of the play on Broadway (to Aug. 19).
Langella's London and Broadway Frost/Nixon co-star Michael Sheen will
reprise his role as TV charmer and playboy David Frost.
Langella's recent film credits include "Superman Returns" and "Good
Night, and Good Luck." Ron Howard is directing "Frost/Nixon," which has a
screenplay by its playwright, Peter Morgan ("The Queen").
Langella is also a Tony Award winner for his work in Seascape and
Fortune's Fool.
