Shooting is already underway in New York with Uma Thurman and Tim Roth, but there's still room for more cast members in the heist comedy The Brits Are Coming. Sofia Vergara has just signed up, joining an ensemble that also includes Parker Posey, Alice Eve, Maggie Q, Crispin Glover and Stephen Fry. James Oakley (The Devil You Know) is directing.
The story revolves around a con-artist couple (Thurman and Roth) who get on the wrong side of Maggie Q's gangster and go on the run to buy some time on a large debt. their plan is to make the payment from the profits of a jewel robbery involving Roth's ex-wife, played by Eve. She's since married again, but it's clearly far from a solid union, since Vergara is playing her new husband's mistress.
Oakley wrote the screenplay with his Devil You Know compatriot Alex Michaelides, and The Brits Are Coming is expected to see release sometime next year.
