Patrick Warburton and John Rhys-Davies have been tapped to star in Darwin in Malibu, a film adaptation based on the stage play by English playwright and director, Crispin Whittell. The pic hails from Oregon-based indie company Road’s End Films, which optioned the play and brought on Robert C. Bruce to write and direct the project.
Road’s End producers are Carey Fiock, Sterling Fiock, and Robert C. Bruce. Valerie J. Bruce of Long Pants Productions will also produce along with Warburton and Rhys-Davies. Production is scheduled to begin early this year.
Set in the present day, the plot imagines three 19th century luminaries — Charles Darwin, Thomas Huxley, and Bishop Samuel Wilberforce — coming together to continue the debate over Natural Selection versus Divine Plan while on a sun-swept patio in Malibu overlooking the Pacific.
