Wie der Hollywood Reporter berichtet, werden Mel Gibson und Sean Penn in der Verfilmung des Bestsellers "Professor and the Madman" die Hauptrollen spielen. Das Drehbuch für den Film schrieb Farhad Safinia, Co-Autor von Gibsons "Apocalypto", der auch Regie führen wird.
"Professor and the Madman" is a tale of two obsessive men trying to complete a project larger than both of them, infusing madness and genius together in the process. Gibson stars as Professor James Murray, a man who in 1857 set out to compile the Oxford English Dictionary, one of the most ambitious projects ever conceived at the time. Penn will play Dr. W. C. Minor, an inmate at the asylum for the criminally insane who ultimately submitted more than 10,000 entries for the dictionary."
Die Dreharbeiten sollen im Oktober in Europa beginnen.
