Olivia Wilde and Jonathan Tucker have joined the cast of "The Next Three Days,"
Paul Haggis' thriller at Lionsgate.
Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks topline the movie, which revolves around a
woman imprisoned for a murder she claims she didn't commit and her husband who
tries to vindicate her.
Wilde will play a young mother who befriends the husband; Tucker will play a
street tough running a meth lab.
Shooting begins this week in Pittsburgh.
Haggis, his Highway 61 Films partner Michael Nozik and Fidelite's Marc
Missonnier and Olivier Delbosc are producing.
Wilde is in the cast of Fox's "House," which returned to high ratings last week,
and stars opposite Garrett Hedlund in "Tron Legacy." She is repped by WME and
Kass & Stokes Management.
Tucker, repped by WME and Booh Schut Co., starred for Haggis in "The Black
Donnellys" and "In the Valley of Elah." He also has appeared in a series of
indie dramas including "Flying Lessons," "Meskada," "Veronika Decides to Die"
and "An Englishman in New York."
