Just yesterday, we told you about Kenneth Branagh, Rhys Ifans and heart-stopping hottie January Jones joining the cast of Richard Curtis’ upcoming directorial effort, THE BOAT THAT ROCKED. Today, “Hollywood Insider” is reporting that immensely talented veteran character actors Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Bill Nighy have joined the cast. The film centers on a “British pirate radio station that operated from a boat in the North Sea when the BBC was only broadcasting two hours of pop music each week in the ’60s.” Hoffman will play DJ The Count with Nighy playing…someone else. Production is expected to start March 3rd in London.
