Casey Affleck Joins 'The World Of Tomorrow' Cast

[Tuesday, March 25th, 2003]
Casey Affleck has come aboard the big-budget sci-fi thriller The World of Tomorrow, according to Hollywood Reporter. He will be joining A-list triumvirate of Angelina Jolie, Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Affleck steps into the role that Giovanni Ribisi had been in negotiations to play, but that deal fell through. 'World' is currently in production in London for first-time writer/director Kerry Conran.

Set at the turn of the 20th century, 'World' follows a reporter (Paltrow) and two pilots (Law, Jolie) who team up on an adventure. 'World' has been described by the film's producers as "retro sci-fi" in the vein of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
