Bill Murray To Star In 'City of Ember'

Bill Murray will star in "City of Ember," the Walden Media adaptation of the Jeanne DuPrau young adult novel.

Caroline Thompson wrote the script about an insular, dark place where the only light comes from street lamps. As the power source begins to fail, two teenagers search for clues that will unlock ancient mysteries about the city but they are thwarted by a corrupt mayor.

Shooting begins this summer in Belfast and the film will be released Oct. 10, 2008, by 20th Century Fox.
