New Hollywood film for Ayelet Zurer
Israeli actress gets leading female role in Chris Eyre's 'A Year in Mooring' alongside Josh Lucas
Ayelet Zurer is securing her position as the most successful Israeli actress in Hollywood. After starring alongside Tom Hanks and Ewan McGregor in "Angels & Demons", which made $500 million across the world, Zurer has received the leading female role in director Chris Eyre's new film "A Year in Mooring".
The film's cast also includes Josh Lucas ("A Beautiful Mind", "Sweet Home Alabama"), one of the busiest and most captivating actors in Hollywood these days. Zurer plays a waitress who enters the main character's life.
"The film is a lyrical and poetic drama," says Zurer. "The script is beautiful and this project appears to combine talent, motivation and passion. I like the issues it deals with."
"A Year in Mooring" tells the story of a successful businessman seeking to escape his past and a tragedy he experienced. In an attempt to deal with the grief, he leaves his home and settles in a boat mooring in a tranquil port. He quickly discovers that the port is inhabited by adventurous people with a dubious or troubled past.
"A Year in Mooring" has begun shooting in Michigan, and Zurer is already on the set. "It's very, very cold here," she reports, "but the atmosphere is enchanting and pleasant, and Josh is simply a great guy."
