Academy Award nominee and Emmy and Golden Globe winning actress Michelle Williams (The Greatest Showman, Dying For Sex) has signed on to star in filmmaker Damien Chazelle‘s (Whiplash, La La Land) new untitled drama starring Cillian Murphy and Daniel Craig.

Chazelle will direct and has written the script and will also produce alongside Olivia Hamilton under their Wild Chickens Productions banner. Paramount Pictures will distribute the film.

While unconfirmed, insiders say the film will be set in a prison.

Production is expected to start later this year. Chazelle had been weighing several projects last year including an Evel Knievel pic with Leonardo DiCaprio circling the lead role.

That film ultimately pushed allowing Chazelle to pivot to his prison pic that he was also developing.
