Bill Nighy opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Boat That Rocked
Bill Nighy is getting a fantastic cast aboard his rocking boat, Philip Seymour Hoffman has signed up to star opposite Bil in The Boat That Rocked.
Set to begin production in March, the film centers on two DJs running pirate radio stations on boats in the North Sea in the 1960s, when the BBC was only broadcasting two hours of pop music a week. Working Title Films will produce, Richard Curtis has written it, and will direct.

That is fantastic casting.

Safety first, Shaun
Bill will read Dracula!
Eeeee! I LOVE Philip Seymour Hoffman!! I am so excited about this project that I could just scream! Oh wait…I did!
I read on IMDB that Kenneth Branagh will be in this movie also. Any truth to that rumour? We all know how totally reliable info is on IMDB…not!
@Erin: Philip Seymour Hoffman is a fantastic actor, and I really look forward to have two actors as great and quirky as Bill and PSH in one film. Is going to be great.
Kenneth Branagh – I haven’t heard anything about that yet, but the more British actors the better :)
