Brit Thespian Freeman Signs Up for Catalan Drama
Brit thesp Martin Freeman (”Sherlock”) will co-star in “Animals,” the feature debut of Catalan director Marcal Fores. Freeman, who is the subject of intense speculation over whether he will or will not play Bilbo Baggins in “The Hobbit” pics, plays a secondary school teacher in “Animals,” a fantasy-laced coming-of-age tale that Escandalo Films producer Sergi Casamitjana dubs as “‘Donnie Darko’ meets Gus Van Sant.” Further key cast on the English-language pic includes young Brit actors Augustus Prew (”The Borgias,” “About a Boy”), and Dimitri Leonidas (”Tormented”).
