Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are set to star in the film adaptation of Richard Osman's best-selling crime novel The Thursday Murder Club.
Chris Columbus, whose previous credits include Home Alone, Mrs Doubtfire and the first two Harry Potter films, is set to direct.
Osman teased the news on X on Tuesday, writing: "Just been on a call with Amblin, and the cast for #TheThursdayMurderClub movie is insanely great, I think people are going to love it. Official announcements very soon, and can’t wait to share it with everyone."
The fastest-selling adult crime debut in recorded history, the novel is set in the fictional Kentish town of Fairhaven and features the four friends solving the murder of a property developer.
The novel spawned a successful series of books which have sold over 10 million copies globally. Osman himself is best known for his creation and co-presenting of game shows on British television such as "Pointless".
