Frequent Christopher Nolan collaborator Wally Pfister (cinematographer on all of Nolan’s big-screen efforts) has added another Batman veteran to the cast of his directorial debut TRANSCENDENCE.
Pfister has tapped ‘The Scarecrow’ himself, Cillian Murphy, to play one of three male leads in the sci-fi thriller. The Irish actor will join Johnny Depp, Paul Bettany, Kate Mara and previous Nolan-ders Rebecca Hall (THE PRESTIGE) and Morgan Freeeman (THE DARK KNIGHT trilogy) in the story rumoured to centre on genius scientist whose brain gets uploaded into a supercomputer following his death.
The film is due to hit cinemas from 25th April 2014.
