Actors Paul Giamatti (The Illusionist, Lady in the Water) and Anthony Mackie (We Are Marshall, Million Dollar Baby) have accepted roles in the film Babylon.
Mackie will play a Rasta living in the remote hills of Jamaica, and Giamatti will play a British minister. The two men will have to accompany a 12-year-old Jamaican boy from the Kingston ghetto, who is trying to run from gangsters.
Andres Baiz (Satanas) will direct the project which starts filming in February.
We can next see Paul Giamatti in Duplicity with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, opening March 20, 2009.
