Actor Paul Bettany has joined the cast for director Robert Zemeckis' newest project, Here, by Miramax, according to an exclusive report from Deadline. Sony Pictures will distribute the film, which is set to be released in theaters on a currently undetermined date.
Bettany joins the cast, including Tom Hanks and Robin Wright , who were previously announced to be attached to the project. Additional information on Bettany's role has not been provided, but more details on the film will likely be revealed as production begins to gear up. The film is set to be an adaptation of the groundbreaking Richard McGuire graphic novel of the same name. While little information about the film adaptation has been revealed, Here's logline, via Deadline, reads, "The innovative film is centered around a single geographic location in New England — starting as wilderness and later becoming the site of a home – where a story of love, loss, struggle, hope, and legacy play out between couples and families over generations.
Many fans best recognize Bettany for his role as Vision in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination for his performance in Wandavision. Outside the MCU, the actor recently starred in A Very British Scandal, a BBC historical drama series. Alongside the eventual release of Here, Bettany will also be starring in Miramax's Harvest Moon, an upcoming dramedy.
