Kirsten Dunst continued to receive some of the best notices of her career with her starring role as a troubled newlywed whose marriage coincides with the end of the world in Lars Von Trier’s art-house drama Melancholia (shown in images).
Dunst kept the indie momentum going with a role in writer/director Roger Donaldson’s upcoming thriller CITIES.
Variety reported today that Dunst joined Orlando Bloom, Clive Owen and Anil Kapoor on the film.
Donaldson wrote the Babel-like, omnibus drama about a New York hedge fund manager (Owen), a London couple looking to buy their first home (Dunst and Bloom) and a Mumbai cop (Kapoor) living in a world where greed has gotten out of control.
“Cities is very much a movie for our time,” Donaldson said in a release. “The subjects of greed and money and their impact on our every day lives surround us constantly and Cities is a movie that will explore this in a dramatic way with tension and excitement at every turn.”
Producers Matthew Metcalfe and Chris Curling confirmed a Spring 2012 start date for Cities.
