Gemma Arterton has signed up to star in Agatha Christie's 'Crooked House'.
The British actress will join Julie Andrews, Matthew Goode and Gabriel Byrne in an all-star cast of Neil LaBute's adaptation of the murder mystery.
Rewritten for screen by 'Downton Abbey' creator Julian Fellowes and Tim Rose Price, the film will feature a crime scene set against the backdrop of three generations of a family who live together in a large, seemingly crooked house.
All members of the family - who each have their own eccentricities - become suspects when their multimillionaire relative is killed and a detective must determine whether Gemma's character is a murderess or the next victim.
Although the book isn't one of Agatha's well-known works it was one of her personal favourites.
