British stars Sam Riley and Carey Mulligan have been cast in Rowan Joffe's Brighton Rock.

The adaptation of Graham Greene's classic novel is about a young gangster who marries a waitress just to keep her quiet after she witnesses a murder he committed, says Variety.

UK distributors Optimum Releasing are executive producing the project with backing from StudioCanal, its French owner.

The book was previously adapted for a film in 1947 with Richard Attenborough and Carol Marsh.
