Tom Hollander (Hanna), Jonny Lee Miller (Dexter), and Sam Riley (Control) have joined Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton in Neil Jordan‘s vampire movie Byzantium. Ronan and Arterton play a daughter and mother who are vampires who arrive in a small 18th century British town. Ronan’s character begins a relationship with a young man (Caleb Landry Jones) who’s dying of leukemia, which in turn forces him to struggle with his mortality and her to question her immortality.
Daily Mail doesn’t have any details on who the actors will play, but I’m happy to see Hollander in any movie. He’s a scene stealer and I’m curious to see what he’ll bring to the production.

“He’s a scene stealer and I’m curious to see what he’ll bring to the production.”
Same could be said for Riley. His performance in CONTROL haunts me still to this day.
“Same could be said for Riley.”
No, it couldn’t. A scene-stealer is traditionally a supporting actor who manages to impress with a mixture of invention, charm and bravura, whilst the Control character is a lead role that has different requirements, including focus, empathy and control. Different performances for different affects.
