More 'Mamma Mia' news
Colin Firth and Stellan Skarsgård join the cast of the Abba musical.
Apr 17 2007
The cast of movie musical 'Mamma Mia' is swelling faster than you can say 'Take-a-chance-take-a-chance-take-a-take-a-chance-chance', with Colin Firth, Skarsgård and Christine Baranski all joining the Abba-themed flick.
The film follows the hugely successful stage musical's story of a bride-to-be Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) heading to a Greek island to search for her long lost father before her special day.
Pierce Bronson has already been cast as one of the possible dads, with Firth and Skarsgård signing up to play the other two (which seems ironic since Firth has just finished work on a film called 'And When Did You Last See Your Father?'). Baranski will play a bossy, boozy, plastic surgery loving party girl, while Meryl Streep is onboard as the young girl's mum.
'Mamma Mia' is set to shoot in London and Greece this summer, under the watchful eye of director Phyllida Lloyd.
