The film version of God of Carnage, adapted by Roman Polanski, has announced its cast. Set to begin shooting in February 2011, the film will star Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and Matt Dillon. The film will be set in Brooklyn, but Polanski's current legal troubles require production to occur in France.
The original play by French playwright Yasmina Reza was a hit on Broadway, running from March 2009 to June 2010. Starring Marcia Gay Harden, James Gandolfini, Jeff Daniels and Hope Davis, the production won Tony Awards for Best Play and Best Director.
