The adaptation of J.G. Ballard’s
High Rise has been stuck in development for several years, but now it seems
that things are moving forward with director Ben Wheatley (who was announced
last year as the film latest director) and actor Tom Hiddleston.
The 1975 novel “takes place in a
tower block, which is supposed to be a gleaming new, exciting and exotic home
for its affluent residents, but ends up isolating and factionalizing them into
all-out war, with the surface sophistication degenerating to primal savagery.”
Today Wheatley announced via
Twitter that actor Tom Hiddleston would star in the project that should begin
in June.
In the Tweet the director also
included a cool promo for the film.
