Robert Downey Jr. had been petitioning Brad Pitt to take the role, but a deal could not be worked out. Director Guy Ritchie's top choice was Daniel Day Lewis, but he couldn't land the Oscar-winning thespian.

Harris will join Downey Jr., Jude Law, Stephen Fry and Noomi Rapace. December 16, 2011 is the date set for the film's release.
