Dracula Untold and The Raven‘s Luke Evans, pictured above, and “Mad Men’s” Elisabeth Moss, below, have joined the cast of Ben Wheatley’s High-Rise, which is being produced by Jeremy Thomas’ Recorded Picture Company, reports Variety.
Tom Hiddleston, Sienna Miller, Jeremy Irons, James Purefoy, Reece Shearsmith, Peter Ferdinando, and comedian Dan Renton Skinner also star.
High-Rise centers on a new residential tower built on the eve of Margaret Thatcher’s England, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart.
Hiddleston plays Robert Laing, a young doctor seduced by the high-rise and its creator, the visionary architect Anthony Royal (Irons). Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Miller).
Screenplay, which is an adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s thriller, is penned by Wheatley’s regular collaborator Amy Jump.
High-Rise is slated for a July start in Belfast.
