Walden Media and director Gil Kenan (MONSTER HOUSE) have cast Bill Murray to star in CITY OF EMBER. He joins a cast that already includes Saoirse Ronan and Toby Jones.
The story centers on city which has flourished for generations in an amazing world of glittering lights. But Ember's once-powerful generator is failing, and the great lamps that illuminate the city are starting to flicker. Now, two teenagers must search Ember for clues that will unlock the ancient mystery of the city's existence and help the citizens escape before the lights go out forever. Murray will plan the city's mayor.
Caroline Thompson wrote the script which is based on Jeanne DuPrau's book. Gary Goetzman and Tom Hanks will produce.
