Iannucci signs for 'Out The Window'

Armando Iannucci has reportedly joined BBC Films for a voyeurism-themed movie titled Out The Window.

The In The Loop director penned the script for the £13.5m project with Will Smith and Roger Drew, Screen reports.

According to the publication, the movie will focus on an incident that is witnessed and "deeply misunderstood".

Writing on Twitter, Iannucci quipped: "Woke to hear I've signed up actor Will Smith for a biopic of Charles Dickens. All mad. The information age is so b*llocks sometimes."

Creative director of BBC Films Christine Langan said that there would be "significant US casting" in the movie, with an American partner reportedly boarding soon.
