Clive Owen and Julianne Moore to have 'The Children of Men'

Based on the novel by PD James, 'Children' is a sci-fi thriller set in the near future.

Jun 16 2005

Julianne Moore is in negotiations to star opposite Clive Owen in the sci-fi thriller 'The Children of Men'.

Based on the PD James novel of the same name, the film will be set in the near future, at a time when the human sperm count has been reduced to zero and the ability to have children disappeared.

With modern science dumbfounded and society plunged into chaos, Moore's character somehow becomes pregnant.

Owen is then enlisted to protect her and give hope to humanity.

Alfonso Cuarón ('Y tu mamá también', 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban') has signed on to direct, with the film set to go into production in September.

After that Moore will continue to work in the sci-fi genre, starring opposite Nicolas Cage in 'Next'.

Based on the Philip K Dick short story 'The Golden Man', the film revolves around an individual who can see into the future, and will be directed by 'Die Another Day' helmer  Lee Tamahori.

Meanwhile Owen, who is riding high from the success of the ultraviolent 'Sin City', is in talks to star in an equally violent thriller called 'Shoot-Em-Up'.

Already being billed as the ultimate action flick, the pic will be written and directed by Michael Davies ('Monster Man'), and casts Owen as a mysterious man assigned to protect a new-born baby from a group of ruthless killers.
