That's not Richard E Grant....

Why the need for such large images, and no details or info at all about the film?

Hunt for the Wilderpeople's Sam Neill will join Logan's Richard E Grant and War Horse's Jeremy Irvine for a New Zealand movie based on a life of a remarkable Kiwi.

The Guinea Pig Club dramatises the life of maverick Kiwi surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe (Grant) who, at the height of World War II, defied the British establishment with his radical methods aimed at healing the severely burned bodies – and tortured souls – of Britain's Royal Air Force pilots.

In doing so, he risked his career, reputation and marriage.

It is being produced by Kiwi company Field Theory (TV's Top of the Lake), renowned New Zealand producer Tim Sanders (Whale Rider, The Lord of the Rings trilogy) and Los Angels-based sales agents Radiant Films International, who plan to launch international sales of the movie at this month's Cannes Market.

Yeah I was gonna say, that looks nothing like Richard E. Grant.

[Canada]

Roger Donaldson will direct the film that follows a maverick surgeon in World War II.

[The Debts]

Grant and Neill in the same movie? Sold.

[Cremildo]

Hadn't heard of Donaldson in a while. Great cast.

How wrong is it that I read the title, and immediately thought this should star Richard Gere?
