Guy Pearce and Dominic West have signed on for Genius, joining Colin Firth, Jude Law, Nicole Kidman, and Laura Linney.
Michael Grandage is directing the film, marking his feature debut, which is adapted from A Scott Berg’s book of the same name.
Pearce will play F Scott Fitzgerald, while West will portray Ernest Hemingway, two of the 20th Century's great novelists.
The film will relay the true, complicated relationship between novelist Thomas Wolfe (Law) and his editor, Max Perkins (Firth). Kidman will play Aline Bernstein, with Linney as Louise Perkins.
“John Logan is one of the greatest story-tellers of our time both on stage and screen, and I'm loving working with him again on Genius,” said Grandage.
Genius will commence filming this October at Shepperton Studios and on location in the UK.
