Colin Farrell And Eric Bana To Star In "By Virtue Fall" Colin Farrell and Eric Bana are in early talks to team on By Virtue Fall , an independent drama that will mark the directorial debut of Sheldon Turner, who shared an Oscar scripting nomination with Jason Reitman for Up in the Air . Nicolas Chartier's Voltage Pictures is setting up the financing and producing with Jennifer Klein and Turner. While both Farrell and Bana sparked to Turner's script and want to do the film, the fragile nature of mounting a two-handed character indie drama makes this one no slamdunk. I've monitored the progress of the talks for the past week, and basically, reps for the actors remain underwhelmed by the money offered so far by Chartier. The feisty Frenchman will have to up the ante if he wants these two. Bana is further along than Farrell. The drama charts a professional and personal relationship between two characters that evolves from friendship to betrayal and retribution.
