Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) and Claire Foy (Wolf Hall) have signed on to star in Breathe, which is being directed by Andy Serkis from a script by two-time Oscar nominee William Nicholson (Shadowlands, Gladiator).
Garfield will star as Robin – handsome, brilliant and adventurous; a man with his whole life ahead of him before he is cruelly paralysed by polio. Foy will play Robin’s wife Diana, whose devotion and determination transcend his disability. Together they refuse to be imprisoned by his suffering, travelling the world and transforming the lives of others with their humour, courage and lust for life. A heart-warming and hilarious celebration of bravery and human possibility; a love story about living every breath as though it’s your last.
“I’m very excited by the prospect of working with Andrew,” states Serkis. “He is a remarkably gifted actor, capable of finding and expressing the deep emotions experienced by Robin, in spite of his disability. Claire is blessed with a diverse and exceptional range of work and is one of the UK’s most respected young actresses – she’s the perfect emotional foil to Andrew’s Robin and brings great strength of character to the pivotal role of Diana.”
