LOS ANGELES, Feb 1 — Tilda Swinton (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”) and John Hurt (“Tinker Tailor Solider Spy”) are set to co-star in a vampire love story, “Only Lovers Left Alive”, directed by Jim Jarmusch, announced The Hollywood Reporter on January 30.

The Oscar winners join Tom Hiddleston (War Horse) and Mia Wasikowska (Albert Nobbs, Alice in Wonderland). 

Set to shoot in Germany later this year, the horror romance follows the story of two vampires in love for centuries.

Swinton has received several nominations for her role in the acclaimed We Need to Talk about Kevin and will next appear in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom with Bruce Willis. She previously worked with Jarmusch on The Limits of Control.

Hurt will next be seen in Jayne Mansfield's Car, about the culture clash between two families, with co-star Kevin Bacon and directed by Billy Bob Thornton (All the Pretty Horses). —AFP-Relaxnews
