Gruffudd & Finney in Amazing Grace
Source: The Hollywood Reporter September 13, 2005
Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) has signed on to topline Walden Media's Amazing Grace for director Michael Apted, says The Hollywood Reporter. Albert Finney (Big Fish) also has joined the cast.
Based on the life of British anti-slavery pioneer William Wilberforce (Gruffudd), the film follows his 18th century political career, which placed him at odds with some of the most powerful men of the time, including the king. Finney will play John Newton, a Wilberforce confidant.
Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things) wrote the screenplay.
Sounds excellent, so far. I hope more information is forthcoming.
