Bana and Hall to play ex-lovers

(Cover) - EN Movies - Eric Bana and Rebecca Hall have signed on to portray ex-lovers in an upcoming movie.

Yet to be titled, the film tells the story of a former couple who have to work together on the defence team of a terrorist trial.

The project will be directed by Boy A filmmaker John Crowley with production slated to begin in April, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a script by Oscar nominee Steven Knight, the movie will be aimed at foreign markets.

“Crowley really made an impression on critics with Boy A in 2007 and both Bana and Hall, while not quite A-listers yet, are some of the best actors we have going. If Knight's script is solid we could be in for a treat with this one,” movie website Cinemablend writes.

Bana is best known for his starring role in Hulk, while Hall impressed in Woody Allen's Vicky Christina Barcelona.

Focus Features and Working Title are teaming up on the project and are aiming to sell the film at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
