Karen Gillan Set To Star Alongside Russell Crowe in The Cold Case Crime Drama SLEEPING DOGS
Karen Gillan is set to star alongside Russell Crowe in the upcoming cold case crime drama Sleeping Dogs, and they will be joined by Marton Csokas (The Lord of the Rings), Harry Greenwood (Hacksaw Ridge) and Thomas M. Wright (Top of the Lake).
The film is an adaptation of E.O. Chirovici’s critically acclaimed novel, The Book of Mirrors, and the screenplay is written by Adam Cooper and Bill Collage (Assassins Creed, Exodus: Gods and Kings). Cooper will also direct and this will mark his directorial debut.
In the story, “In the wake of a cutting-edge Alzheimer’s treatment, Crowe’s character, a former homicide detective, is tasked with re-examining a brutal murder case from his past – the grisly murder of a college professor (Csokas). Fighting to regain his memory, the detective enlists his former partner to help him revive the investigation. They encounter a magnetic and mysterious woman (Gillan), a tangle of contradictions and secrets and a horrific reality that changes the detective’s world view in the blink of an eye.”
