LA, Aug 16: Zoe Saldana and Diego Luna are joining headliners Tom Hanks and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the cast of Steven Spielberg's "Terminal," which begins shooting at the end of next month in Los Angeles. Hanks plays a Balkan immigrant who makes an airport transit lounge his home after he learns that the borders of his war-torn nation have been blurred, voiding his passport and leaving him without a country.
Making friends among the airport employees in the United States, including a baggage handler (Chi McBride), he falls in love with a flight attendant (Zeta-Jones), which prompts his escape a year later.
Saldana joins Stanley Tucci in playing representatives of the Immigration and Naturalization Service. Luna will play an airport employee. The project is set up at DreamWorks. Saldana is currently in theaters with "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," while Luna co-stars in Kevin Costner's "Open Range," which opens Friday.
