Josh Hartnett & Wiesz Join 'Mozart And The Whale'

[Monday, January 12th, 2004]
Josh Hartnett is signed up to star in director Petter Naess' Mozart and the Whale. Rachel Weisz is also negotiating to star, according to Variety.

The movie, which is scripted by Ron Bass and inspired by a 1995 article in the Los Angeles Times, is based on the story of a young couple who have Asperger's syndrome, a kind of autism.

Hartnett's character is a math savant who falls in love with a woman who is a music and art savant, played by Weisz. Their talents are offset by an inability to relate to one another, which threatens to undermine their relationship.

Shooting for the project is expected to start on March 1st.
