Clive Owen Stars in "Children of Men"

Owen Stars in Universal's "Children of Men" Movie

By , About.com Guide

April 28, 2005 - Amid rumors that Clive Owen will be the next James Bond, the actor appears to be filling up his plate with non-Bond related films. Oscar nominee Owen has signed on to star in "Children of Men," a sci-fi film based on P.D. James' novel.

Alfonso Cuaron ("Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban") will direct Universal Pictures' "Children of Men," with Marc Abraham and Eric Newman producing.

James' novel follows the story of a radically changed world where humans can no longer reproduce. When a woman discovers she's pregnant - something no other woman has been able to do for more than 20 years - Owen's character is assigned to protect her life.

Clive Owen earned an Academy Award nomination for his role in "Closer." Owen followed up "Closer" with the Robert Rodriguez/Frank Miller film, "Sin City," and will next be seen in "Derailed" co-starring Jennifer Aniston.
