The star-studded cast for Waititi’s new masterpiece, reportedly dubbed Tears in Rain (though the ink’s still wet on that title), just got a massive dose of star power with Adams’ arrival on the scene.
Amy Adams, celebrated for her roles ranging from the enchanting Giselle in Enchanted to the hard-hitting journalist Lois Lane in the DC Universe, is set to dazzle us once more in Waititi’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s bestseller “Klara and the Sun.” She’s not the only heavy hitter joining the fray, as Cillian Murphy’s prodigious offspring, Aran, is tipped to shine alongside Adams in this much-anticipated film.
The buzz around this film has been building, with Netflix’s Wednesday sensation Jenna Ortega already linked to the project, proving Waititi’s knack for assembling dream teams. The IMDb roster now boasts Ortega, Adams, Murphy, and rising star Mia Tharia, ready to bring this poignant tale to life.
Set against the breathtaking backdrops of Queenstown and Auckland, the film spins a heartfelt narrative around Klara (played by Ortega), an Artificial Friend embarking on a quest to save her human companion from an enigmatic ailment, uncovering the depths of human affection along the way.
As the film gears up for production in New Zealand’s picturesque locales, Adams’ legion of fans are abuzz with excitement, eagerly anticipating her return to the big screen. With a career that’s seen her navigate the realms of musical fantasies, gritty dramas, and sci-fi thrillers, Adams’ involvement is a testament to the project’s allure.
Meanwhile, Ortega is on a roll, fresh from her iconic turn as Wednesday Addams and her reunion with Tim Burton for Beetlejuice 2. This isn’t her first Kiwi rodeo, having previously filmed the horror flick X on New Zealand shores.
As the UK press goes wild over Aran Murphy’s casting and fans speculate on a possible Cillian Murphy cameo, the anticipation for Waititi’s latest project is sky-high. With a lineup that reads like a who’s who of Hollywood’s finest, “Tears in Rain” is shaping up to be the cinematic event of the year, promising an unforgettable journey through the power of human connection. Get ready, film buffs—Taika Waititi is about to take us on another unforgettable ride!
