Moore Seeks Out Men's Children

Julianne Moore is in negotiations to star opposite Clive Owen in Universal Pictures sci fi adventure "The Children of Men" according to various sources.

"Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban" helmer Alfonso Cuaron is directing the adaptation of P.D. James' novel for Universal Pictures. A September start date is being eyed which means Moore could head onto the Philip K. Dick sci-fi pic "Next" directly afterwards. She's already signed for "Next" which co-stars Nicolas Cage and is being directed by Lee Tamahori.

'Children' is set in the near-future where mankind has lost the ability to procreate. The world is rocked by the news that the youngest person on earth - who is 18 years old - has died. As chaos erupts, a former radical (Owen) is engaged to be the protector of the most sought after person on the planet - the last remaining pregnant female (Moore).

Thanks to 'Casey'.
