Marion Cotillard and Joaquin Phoenix join set to star in Low Life
In Low Life, Marion Cotillard will play a woman attempting to immigrate from Poland. Her American dream turns into a nightmare. While sailing to Ellis Island and a new start, her sister grows deathly ill and she is forced to trade sexual favors for medicine and food to keep her sister alive. Once they land, she is warned to keep quiet about what happened. Though she does, she walks away with immigration papers that deem her a woman with bad morals. With no place to go, she falls prey to a charming sleazebag (Joaquin Phoenix), who persuades her to turn tricks in New York. Jeremy Renner is close to signing on to play the sleazebag's cousin, a magician who sweeps the young woman off her feet and is her best chance to escape the nightmarish life she has fallen into.
Production is to begin next year.

Dan: Just because the plot sounds cliche, that doesn't mean it can't be great. Think "The King's Speech"--INCREDIBLY cliche, but so well done and heartfelt. To each their own, though. I'm personally excited for the film. It's about time Marion got a leading role.

Though I like the cast, that story sounds terrible cliche, and just, well, terrible. Not sure it would be something I'd want to watch. Unless Cotillard is nekked throughout. Then I'll consider it as a guilty pleasure. Otherwise, meh.
