Clive Owen to Star in Adaptation of P.D. James' The Children of Men

By James Wray Apr 28, 2005, 14:10 GMT

Clive Owen has been cast in Universal's adaptation of P.D. James' novel The Children of Men.

Variety reports Alfonso Cuaron will direct.

Children of Men begins in the England of 2021, in a world where all human males have become sterile and no child can ever be born again. The final generation has turned twenty-five, and civilization is giving way to strange faiths and cruelties, mass suicides, and despair. Theodore Faron, Oxford historian and cousin to the omnipotent Warden of England, has nearly resigned himself to apathy and a future without a future.

Then he meets Julian, a bright, attractive woman who wants Theo to join her circle of unlikely revolutionaries, a move that may shatter his shell of passivity...and maybe, just maybe, hold the key to survival for the race.
