Reuters and other news articles reports that...

Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver and Rachelle Lefevre are playing Paul Giamatti's many wives in Barney's Version, the adaptation of the Mordecai Richler novel being directed by Richard Lewis.

Barney's tells the story of the politically incorrect, fully lived life of the impulsive, irascible and fearlessly blunt Barney Panofsky (Giamatti).

Lefevre will play Clara, Barney's first wife, a wild, troubled artist. Driver plays Barney's second wife, the annoyingly loquacious Mrs. "P." Miriam, Barney's third wife and true love, will be played by Pike.

Dustin Hoffman also is in the cast, as Barney's father.

Michael Konyves wrote the adaptation. Robert Lantos is producing via his Serendipity Point Films."
Driver (The Riches) recently wrapped the drama Betty Anne Waters with Hilary Swank.

Pike next appears in the Bruce Willis sci-fi action movie "The Surrogates," being released in the fall.

Lefevre is best known for her work in the Twilight movies, where she has portray's the evil vampire Victoria.

P.S. Here's an interesting Twilight/P&P connection, Jena Malone co-stars with Cam Gigandet (who plays evil vampire tracker James in Twilight) in their upcoming film Five Star Day, while Rosamund Pike and Rachelle Lefevre (besides this new movie) also co-starred in Fugitive Pieces.
