When we last left him, Jim Jarmusch was readying his first feature in years. Called The Limits of Control, the film is a road movie being shot by Jarmusch and Christopher Doyle about a mysterious protagonist traveling across Spain. And now, less than a month before shooting is set to begin, more casting announcements have started coming in about the film.
While Isaach De Bankole will be playing the film's lead, Jarmusch is enlisting the help of many past contributors. First and foremost of these is Bill Murray, who worked with Jarmusch previously in Broken Flowers and Coffee and Cigarettes. Tilda Swinton (also featured in Broken Flowers) and Gael Garcia Bernal round out the main cast, with Roman Polanski and Javier Bardem suspected for cameos. What their parts in the film will be is anyone's guest, but just the fact that Murray and Garcia Bernal will be working together with Jarmusch is quite an announcement.
Other than this, there isn't much new information about the film, which is characteristic for Jarmusch. It is nice to see, though, that despite his semi-retirement, Murray is still willing to work on projects that are worthwhile. While it's unfortunate that his clients GZA and RZA haven't also been announced as actors in the project, we're still willing to hold out some hope until the film's actually out.
