British actor Janet Montgomery has landed a starring role as a young Faye Dunaway in Jonathan Baker’s supernatural love story “Fate,” a film that is shooting in Vancouver for Baker Entertainment.
The film will toggle between a yesteryear version of the character (Montgomery) and a present-day incarnation (Dunaway), spanning much of the protagonist’s entire lifetime. “Fate” revolves around a firefighter (Brandon Routh) who connects with a stranger from the past Tilly (Montgomery) while he’s healing at a rehabilitation center and is transported through time to find the only thing saving his soul — his realization of true love, according to a producer’s logline.
Highland Film Group is selling rights to the $10 million film, which also stars Harvey Keitel, at the Cannes Marche.
Dunaway is on the ground in Cannes, where HBO screened the much-anticipated biographical documentary “Faye.”

Apple TV+ has ordered a third season of “Tehran,” the global espionage thriller starring Niv Sultan and Glenn Close. Ten-time Emmy-nominated “House” star Hugh Laurie is the newest addition to the ensemble cast.
“Tehran,” which launched on Apple TV+ last summer, follows a Mossad hacker-agent named Tamar (Sultan) who infiltrates Tehran using a false identity. At the close of Season 2, she goes rogue following the loss of a close ally; in Season 3, she must once again reinvent herself to earn back Mossad’s support in order to survive.
Laurie will play Eric Peterson, a South African nuclear inspector. Other cast additions include Sasson Gabai, Bahar Pars and Phoenix Raei. Along with Sultan, Shaun Toub and Shila Omm will also return. Production is already underway.

FX has greenlit “Never Let Me Go,” a drama series inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro’s 2005 science fiction novel of the same name.
The thriller series will follow Thora (Viola Prettejohn), a rebellious teenage clone who escapes from the boarding school where she and her fellow clones are kept hidden from society. As she starts living undercover in the outside world, she unwittingly sets in motion events that will spark a revolution and test the boundaries of what it means to be human.
Along with Prettejohn, the cast includes Tracey Ullman, Kelly Macdonald, Aiysha Hart, Spike Fearn, Shaniqua Okwok, Gary Beadle, Kwami Odoom, Susan Brown, Keira Chanse and Edward Holcroft.
This is the second screen adaptation of the book, as a movie starring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield came out in 2010 from Searchlight Pictures. The film was written by Alex Garland, directed by Mark Romanek and produced by Andrew Macdonald Allon and Reich.
