The trio will be joined by Olivia Williams, Toby Jones, MacKenzie Crook and Bill Milner in the movie, which takes its name from one of Dury's biggest hits with his band The Blockheads.
Andy Serkis is already on board to play Dury, with Arthur Darvill, James Jagger, Tom Hughes, Shakraj Soornack, Clifford Samuel and Joe Kennedy starring as The Blockheads.
Mat Whitecross is directing the film, previously described as an unconventional biopic, from a script by Paul Viragh. It will arrive in cinemas in 2010.
Dury, who suffered from polio as a child, passed away in 2000 from cancer.
