Kristin Scott Thomas has joined Bill Condon’s “Salmon Fishing In Yemen” which has been bumped one month from its previously scheduled May shoot to June.
The film is about a British civil servant who tries to introduce the sport of salmon fishing to the Yemeni public in the midst of his failing marriage, and is based on a book by Paul Torday that was adapted by “Slumdog Millionaire” scribe Simon Beaufoy. Thomas will play the British Prime Minister’s press secretary who apparently is not unlike Alistair Campbell who worked for Tony Blair.
Once filming on this is done, Condon is supposed to shoot his long gestating Richard Pryor biopic “Is It Something I Said?” in the fall, though of course, that depends on if he’s swayed to helm “Breaking Dawn” instead. He is also developing the HBO blogger comedy “Tilda” as well.
