Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson are in talks to star in “Layer Cake,” “X-Men: First Class” and “Kingsman” director Matthew Vaughn’s next film which sees him return to the global espionage action genre.

Howard will play a best-selling spy novelist who soon discovers she’s been tricked into thinking she’s a writer when she’s actually a world-class spy suffering from amnesia.

As her lethal skills return with her memories, she sets down a path of revenge against the shadowy organization she used to work for, the Division.

Rockwell will play a former Division agent and love interest, Jackson a rogue agent dedicated to exposing the corruption within the clandestine spy network. Other major names are reportedly circling the project.

Vaughn will write and direct for his MARV Films label.
