Weaver reunites with Allen in 'Crazy'

Rex Features

Sigourney Weaver will star alongside Tim Allen in the comedian's directorial debut Crazy On The Outside.

The film follows the story of an ex-con who finds living with his sister trickier than his time in prison.

Weaver will play Allen's manipulative older sister in the adult comedy. Also among the cast are JK Simmons and Jeanne Tripplehorn.

The Alien star last appeared with Allen in the sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest in 1999.

Kelsey Grammer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Julie Bowen and Ray Liotta were all confirmed for the movie earlier this month.

Crazy On The Outside starts shooting in LA at the end of the month.
