Jeremy Irons, Virginia Madsen to star in 'Monumental'

Actor Jeremy Irons and actress Virgina Madsen have signed on to star in an upcoming action-comedy film, "Monumental".

AnnaSophia Robb and Rory Culkin also star in the Brett Simon-helmed film, which is described as a high-octane romance, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Harley (Culkin) and Steph (Robb) have accidentally killed their tyrant boss and kidnapped his wisecracking Vietnam Vet relative (Irons).

An FBI agent (Madsen) is hot on their trail and closing in fast. As they speed across the country in search of freedom, their epic journey culminates in a fiery showdown.

The film will begin filming in July.
