Anthony Hopkins signs on to star in Solace
Sir Anthony Hopkins has joined the cast of New Line's crime thriller Solace.

The story will center on Anthony Hopkins' character, John Clancy, a former doctor who possesses psychic abilities, which he uses to help the FBI track down a serial killer.

Peter Morgan wrote the latest draft of the screenplay for Solace, which does not have a director attached yet. Sean Bailey and Ted Griffin wrote the original draft, which was rewritten by James Vanderbilt.

Beau Flynn and Tripp Vinson are producing Solace, with Matthias Emcke and Thomas Augsberger attached as executive producers.

Production will begin sometime next year on Solace.

Solace was released in 2011 and stars Anthony Hopkins.

    This was originally the sequel to Se7en.......however, Fincher didn't want to make it, so the studio had the writers change Morgan Freemans character into a psychic investigator who tracks serial killers (who will now be played by Hopkins). I'm assuming that it is an entirely "original" story now and not part of the same "world", so to speak, as Se7en......but now you know that originally it was supposed to be.
