Having landed Frances McDormand to star in his latest, Three Billboards Outside Of Ebbing, Missouri, writer/director Martin McDonagh has raided the cast of his last film, Seven Psychopaths, adding Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell to the new one.

Developed by Film4 and set to be financed by the company and Fox Searchlight, McDonagh has been working on this one for a while, quietly polishing the script while he was also busy with his latest play, The Hangman.

There are few confirmed details about the story, though McDonagh has previously said that it concerns a 50-year-old woman whose daughter is murdered and ends up battling the local police because she feels they're more interested in torturing black people than finding real justice.

The cameras are set to roll in North Carolina next month, and now we're wondering whether any more of Team Psychopaths will be called up for this one. Harrelson is on our screens now in Triple 9 and has Now You See Me 2 due on July 8. Rockwell has worked in indie comedy Mr. Right and is providing a voice for new 'toon The Adventures Of Drunky, due to arrive on screens next year.
