A diverse group, including Liam Neeson, Bono, Joan Rivers, Jim Sheridan, Martin Sheen, Gabriel Byrne, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon and, well, just too many to name, will each read one of Wilde’s famously witty lines for the film, which is titled “Happy Birthday Oscar Wilde.” Director Bill Hughes has chosen 150 lines, and plans to tap 150 celebrities, to celebrate 150 years.
