Keri Russell is to join Jonathan Rhys Meyers in Warner Bros. Pictures drama
August Rush, says the Hollywood Reporter.
The feature, helmed by Kristen Sheridan, follows August Rush, a young musical prodigy performing on the streets of New York who uses his talent to seek his parents, from whom he was separated after he was born.
Russell and Rhys Meyers play the parents, with Russell acting as a sheltered cellist. Freddy Highmore has already been cast as Rush and Robin Williams as his mentor.
