Oscar nominee Demian Bichir will play a crime boss in black comedy Dom Hemingway from The Matador writer-director Richard Shepard. Jude Law and Richard E. Grant were already on board the revenge story which now has Game Of Thrones' Emilia Clarke along with Jumyan Hunter and Madalina Ghenea rounding out the cast. Law plays the eponymous larger-than-life safecracker who's back on the streets of London after twelve years in prison and eager to collect for keeping his mouth shut. Things take a turn when he sets off to visit Bichir's capo in the south of France.
Jeremy Thomas' Recorded Picture Company is producing with partners BBC Films, CinemaNX/Isle of Man Film, Pinewood Films and Lionsgate. This marks the latest indie that studio facilities operator Pinewood is involved in as part of a plan to support about 4 films a year. Shooting starts Oct. 15 in the south of France. HanWay Films is handling worldwide sales.
Bichir recently appeared in Oliver Stone's Savages, and will next be seen in Robert Rodriguez' Machete Kills and Paul Feig's The Heat. He's repped by CAA. British actress Clarke is best known for her turn on HBO's Game Of Thrones. Hunter starred in Joe Cornish's Attack The Block and has a role in Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, Quartet.
