Cutie-pie Rose Byrne (TROY, 28 WEEKS LATER) has just joined over-actor extraordinaire Nicolas Cage in the sci-fi thriller KNOWING, which will be directed by Alex Proyas (helmer of the great CROW, and the not so great I, ROBOT).

From the Hollywood Reporter: Byrne will play the daughter of a woman who buried a 1962 time capsule bearing the dates of the assassinations of historical figures, the hotel fire death of the wife of a professor (Cage) and an imminent world apocalypse. After the professor discovers its contents and alerts her, the initially skeptical Byrne begins remembering strange incidents from her childhood.
