Romola Garai, Michael Gambon and Rufus Sewell have joined the cast of Michael Apted's Amazing Grace, says the Hollywood Reporter.

They join Ioan Gruffudd who plays British anti-slavery pioneer William Wilberforce, and Albert Finney as Wilberforce's confidante John Newton.

The story follows Wilberforce's 18th century political career, which placed him at odds with some of the most powerful men of the time, including the king. Shooting began this week.
