James Franco and Kate Hudson to Star in the Thriller GOOD PEOPLE
James Franco, Kate Hudson and Omar Sy have been cast to star in a new film called Good People. The film is based on Marcus Sakey's novel of the same name, and the story is a contemporary thriller that "centers on an American couple living in London who fall into severe debt renovating her family’s home. When the tenant in their downstairs apartment passes away and leaves 200,000 pounds in cash, they take it, and that’s when very bad things start happening to good people." With a solid cast and intense story like this, Good People should end up being a decent film.
The movie is being produced by Millennium Films and Tobey Maguire, and the script written by Kelly Masterson, Paul Grellong, and Christina Hodson. Here's the description from the book:
A family, and the security to enjoy it: that’s all Tom and Anna Reed ever wanted. But years of infertility treatments, including four failed attempts at in vitro fertilization, have left them with neither. The emotional and financial costs are straining their marriage and endangering their dreams.
Then one night everything changes. Offered a chance at a future they'd almost lost hope in, they seize it. One simple choice. A fairy tale ending.
But Tom and Anna soon realize that fairy tales never come cheap. Because their decision puts them square in the path of ruthless men. Men who've been double-crossed, and who won’t stop until they get revenge.
No matter where they find it.
