For those interested in the lesser known names in Hollywood should be happy to learn that Kathy Baker, James Brolin, Eileen Atkins, Richard Schiff and Liane Balaban have joined Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson in Overture Films’ romantic drama Last Chance Harvey for director Joel Hopkins.
The pic will feature Baker playing the ex-wife of Hoffman, a down-on-his-luck New York jingle writer with a tough boss (Schiff). He becomes romantically involved with a lonely bureaucrat (Thompson) with an overbearing mother (Atkins) on a trip to London.
Brolin plays the new husband of Baker’s character, and Balaban plays the daughter who brings all of them together at a British wedding.
Pic begins filming today in and around London.
