Peter Weir's Cast For 'The Way Back' Includes Colin Farrell, Ed Harris, Jim Sturgess And Saoirse Ronan
Coming off a five-year hiatus, Aussi director Peter Weir has finally set his cast for his WWII project "The Way Back." It will center around a group of soldiers who escape from a Siberian POW camp in 1942. Farrell will play a bad-boy Russian, Harris an American, and Sturgess will test his suspect acting skills as a Polish prisoner.
Weir, the visionary directer behind such 70's gems as "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and "The Plumber," hasn't made a film since his big-budgeted 2003 project "Master and Commander."

Excellent news. Peter Weir is possibly the most consistently great director of the last 40 years. Can't wait for this.
I second Second Single. If anything, all his films are interesting to watch, and I've been waiting to hear of his next project for awhile. The Mosquito Coast is great. Baz Luhrmann will always be known as the second best Australian director.
