Charlotte Rampling and Sally Hawkins have signed on to co-star in the Keira Knightley starrer Never Let Me Go for Fox Searchlight and Film4, which also stars the previously announced Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan. Alex Garland ("28 Days Later") adapted the screenplay, which revolves around a trio (Knightley, Mulligan and Garfield) who grew up in a boarding school with no contact or knowledge of the outside world until they discover they are clones grown for the sole purpose of organ donation. Legendary music video director Mark Romanek is getting behind the helm this Tuesday in the UK.

Sounds cool. I've only seen it once, and it's been forever, but isn't that what The Island was about??

That's "The Island"! They must be idiots to have missed that. It better be extremely interesting to pull that off.

Although it's based on a 2005 novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the concept is cloned (pun very much intended). Just like The Island, this concept was used several years before in 1979's Parts: The Clonus Horror (which made for a great episode of MST3K). Clonus screenwriter Bob Sullivan filed suit against Dreamworks for the obviously ripped-off plot for The Island, reaching an undisclosed settlement. Shall be interesting to see if any legal action resurfaces here.
