Connelly and Bettany Being Born
June 12, 2007 Comments
In some of the cutest casting that could possibly occur in a psychological thriller, real-life married couple Jennifer Connelly and Paul Bettany will play a fictional couple in the Guillermo del Toro-produced Birth:
Daniel Simpson will direct the project, which revolves around a couple who settle down in a seemingly idyllic English town to raise a family. Their perfect life is shaken when the husband, a claymation artist, discovers his characters are acting out a nightmare that comes to life.
It might make for some good on-screen chemistry, but I bet it's going to be a real strain for the crew. Normally the best part of working with Jennifer Connelly is making disgusting remarks about various items around the set you'd use to have sex with her. With her husband around, that all goes out the window, or is at least limited to smaller items. What a bummer.
