Variety reports that Orlando Bloom, Alfred Molina and Sally Hawkins, who won a Silver Bear in Berlin for “Happy-Go-Lucky,” have joined the cast of “An Education,” a coming-of-age story set in 1960s London. Trio join Peter Sarsgaard, Rosumund Pike, Emma Thompson, Olivia Williams and emerging actress Carey Mulligan (“And When Did You Last See Your Father?”). Mulligan plays a witty and attractive 17-year-old, whisked off her feet by an unsuitable thirtysomething (Sarsgaard), who dazzles her with the high life. The film will shoot in London in March and April. This really sounds like a promising cast. I hope it opens with success.
