Jennifer Connelly, Marisa Tomei and Greg Kinnear have joined the cast of SALVATION BOULEVARD, the upcoming legal thriller from director George Ratliff (JOSHUA). The trio join the already cast Pierce Brosnan, Ed Harris and comedian Jim Gaffigan.

The film, based on a book by Larry Beinhart, follows a detective who's a born again Christian investigating the case of an atheist professor murdered allegedly by a Muslim for not believing in God. With all the cast, it's hard to figure out who's playing who, but I'll guess that Harris is the detective, Connelly is his ultra-religious wife who begs him to drop the case, Gaffigan is the defense attorney, Kinnear is the head of the megachurch the detective belongs to, Brosnan is the murdered professor and I have no idea who Marisa Tomei is (but I'm sure she'll look hot).

It's a pretty impressive cast for an indie film with two Oscar wins (Connelly and Tomei) plus nominations for Harris and Kinnear. Filming on the project is expected to begin next month in Detroit.

This sounds pretty amazing. And from the guy who wrote the book that "Wag the Dog" was inspired by.



The tidbit question is tough, but since I grew up with "Labyrinth," I kinda feel a sort ofkinship with Connelly, so I'm going with her.

Wow, what an incredible cast. Kinnear, Harris, Connelly, Tomei... not bad at all! And for the record, Jennifer Connelly is not only the hottest of the two, but she's also one of the most stunning-looking women in ALL age groups.

Huh, another Hollywood movie that makes people with faith look savage and ridiculous. I'm shocked.

Not that crazy about the storyline, but it's a great cast.



Good question, I was always a fan of both of them and I think they are still lovely today. My choice would be Jennifer, although I preferred when she had more weight on her, with those lovely.....eyes.

Connelly is not 40-plus
About the extra tidbit, Jennifer Connelly is actually 39 years old. I know it doesn´t change the fact that she is a mother of two and is still extremely hot but only to clarify.



What a goof relation Connelly has with Harris btw, the have shared screen many times before, in front and behind the camera.

Movie sounds good, interesting cast; especially Jim Gaffigan..."Hot Pocket?". Regarding the extra tidbit, Connelly.

Actually, Tomei and Connelly have the Oscar wins, Harris and Kinnear are only nominees.
