Game of Thrones' Jonathan Pryce andDoctor Whostars David Tennant and Naomi Ackie have joined The Thursday Murder Club, the movie adaptation of Richard Osman’s best-selling crime novel.
And that’s not all: Line of Duty’s Daniel Mays and Killing Eve’s Henry Lloyd-Hughes have also been added to the film’s starry line up. The new additions will share the screen with existing cast members Celia Imrie, Ben Kingsley, Helen Mirren, and Pierce Brosnan, whose involvement wasannounced back in April.
Amblin and Netflix are behind the big screen take, with Harry Potter’s Chris Columbus signed on to write and direct. Filming is scheduled to begin in late June. Columbus is also producing alongside Jennifer Todd, while Holly Bario, Jeb Brody, Eleanor Columbus, and Jo Burn are executive producing.
“There’s some great names and some more names coming as well,” Osman said this morning on his podcast The Rest Is Entertainment (viaDeadline). “I think this is the greatest British cast assembled since the [Harry Potter] movies.”
