Rebecca Hall to star with Johnny Depp in TRANSCENDENCE

Wally Pfister’s Transcendence now has a leading lady — Rebecca Hall has joined Johnny Depp and Paul Bettany in the cast of Pfister’s directorial debut. Hall and Pfister previously worked together on Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige, for which Pfister served as director of photography. Hall will soon be seen on screen in a major role in Iron Man 3; she just appeared as the leading lady (opposite Benedict Cumberbatch) in the highly-regarded mini-series Parade’s End. Hall also played the bank manager taken hostage in Ben Affleck’s The Town and Vicky in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Although plot details about Transcendence are closely guarded, The Hollywood Reporter states that Hall will play “Depp’s wife, a fellow academic.”
