The world's most famous Scottish and Irish bad boy actors are working together for the first time in Woody Allen's new project reports Production Weekly.

Ewan McGregor and Colin Farrell, known just as much for their wild shenanigans behind the bars and under the sheets as their work onscreen, will play two brothers with serious financial problems that lead them to become enemies when a third party suggests they turn to crime.

Tom Wilkinson has also been cast, and a female lead has yet to be announced. Like all Allen project's there is no title at present, shooting begins in June in London.
