TOM HIDDLESTON TO
TOPLINE 'HIGH RISE'!
The Independent has revealed that world's favourite actor Tom Hiddleston will star in the movie adaptation of JG Ballard's book HIGH RISE to be directed by British
filmmaker and DR WHO director Ben Wheatley! The story of the book revolves around the lives of an affluent community cut off from society in a luxury block of flats. Closed off from their surroundings they slowly descend into violence and start to turn one against another. The 1975 satire centres on debauchery and the primal urges of the humanity. This is not the first of Ballard's books to get a movie adaptation since back in the 80s Steven Spielberg gained numerous Oscar nominations for his adaptation of Ballard's EMPIRE OF THE SUN!
