Having weathered the wintry climes of Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight set, Tim Roth has turned his attention to his next job. He’s joined the cast of Life At These Speeds, adapted from Marc Novak’s novel.
Life, which also stars Melanie Lynsky, Graham Rodgers, Billy Crudup, Liana Liberato, Peter Coyote, Stephanie Scott, Yul Vazquez, Elizabeth Canavan and Tom Cocquerel, follows what happens when a teenager loses his best friends in an accident. He starts running, and discovers that the exercise allows him to remember them perfectly, all while bringing him notoriety. And he realises he has a choice to make – does he keep his past memories alive, or start making new ones in the present?
Roth is set to play Coach Jarhead in the film, which Leif Tilden is directing. In addition to The Hateful Eight (which has yet to set a UK release date), the actor will also be seen in Cannes award winner Chronic, crime thriller The Jesuit and romantic comedy Mr. Right. Oh, and there’s also FIFA-backed film United Passions, which opens in the States this week and definitely won’t be affected by current events.
