Saoirse Ronan is to star opposite Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri's Sam Rockwell and Selma 's David Oyelowo in an as-yet-untiled murder-mystery, set in 1950s London.

US entertainment trade website Deadline, which first reported the story, says the whodunit sees a Hollywood producer trying to bring a West End hit to the big screen.

When members of the production are murdered, "world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Rockwell) and overzealous rookie Constable Stalker (Ronan)" are tasked with finding the killer.

A start date for the film has yet to be announced. It will be directed by Tom George, whose other credits include the TV series This Country and Defending the Guilty.
