Eric Bana has just signed on to join the cast of “The Forgiven” based on Michael Ashton’s play “The Archbishop And The Antichrist” for Link Entertainment and Light & Dark Films.
Forest Whitaker will play Archbishop Desmond Tutu in the film which follows his work as president of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in post-apartheid South Africa and his struggle with brutal murderer Piet Blomfeld (Bana) over concession and redemption.
Roland Joffe is directing from a script he co-wrote with Ashton. Joffe, Craig Baumgarten and Zaheer Goodman-Bhyat are producing.
