Jim Sturgess Fan

I’m still here guys. Not updating much, but I try.
Anyway, Jim has been cast in the movie called Promised Land, which tells the creation story of Israel from Palestine.
I found some articles about this upcoming film.

British director Michael Winterbottom is going to the ‘Promised Land,’ which is not always such a pretty place, and he’s taking fellow-Brit actor Jim Sturgess with him.

Variety reports that the hip filmmaker (’24 Hour Party People’) has chosen ‘Promised Land’ as his next feature project; the film focuses on the events that led up the 1948 partitioning of Palestine, and the creation of the state of Israel.

Due to start shooting in late summer, The Promised Land is billed as a political crime thriller set in British-ruled Palestine at the end of World War II, and covers the period leading to the establishment of Israel.

Firth has been cast as Avraham Stern, the leader of the Underground organization Lehi, which lead a violent campaign against the British Mandate in Palestine during the 1930s and 1940s. The British authorities also called the Lehi “The Stern Gang.”

Sturgess and Macfadyen will play British police officers trying to end the Jewish revolutionaries and underground groups’ violent campaign to expel the British, which culminated in the 1946 attack on the British headquarters at King David Hotel in Jerusalem that left dozens of British soldiers dead.
