Matt Smith, Eva Green for 'Womb'

Eva Green and new Doctor Who star Matt Smith have signed up for futuristic drama Womb.

The project, which tackles the controversial subject of human cloning, is Hungarian director Benedek Fliegauf's first English-language film.

Green will play a grieving widow who decides to clone her late husband, according to Variety. Smith's role in the film has not been confirmed.

“Womb is one of the most touching and impressive love stories we have read in recent times,” said Match Factory's Michael Weber, who is handling the film's international sales.
