News > Last Chance Harvey Gets Supporting Cast

Written by David Morgan

Last Chance Harvey, the romantic drama starring Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, has attracted five new players, namely Kathy Baker, James Brolin, Eileen Atkins, Richard Schiff, and Liane Balaban (no apparent relation to Bob). According to The Hollywood Reporter:

Baker plays the ex-wife of Hoffman, a down-on-his-luck New York jingle writer with a tough boss (Schiff). He becomes romantically involved with a lonely bureaucrat (Thompson) with an overbearing mother (Atkins) on a trip to London.

Brolin plays the new husband of Baker's character, and Balaban plays the daughter who brings all of them together at a British wedding.

The film is being directed by Joel Hopkins, who also wrote the screenplay. His last film was the not oft-seen Jump Tomorrow.
