Thandie Newton and rapper
Ludacris have joined the cast of Guy Ritchie's new gangster film '
RocknRolla'. The movie - about British gangsters who get involved with the Russian mob - began shooting in London earlier this month.
It will also star '
300' star
Gerard Butler as a crafty but shady businessman and '
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind' actor Tom Wilkinson, whose character is one of London's main old-school gangsters who finds himself quitting crime because of foreign mobsters.
Newton will play Butler's love interest - an accountant linked to the criminal underworld - while Ludacris is cast as an American musician trying to make it big in London.
Ritchie has written the script for the film, which will cost about 10m to make - a low budget by Hollywood standards. The British filmmaker's wife,
Madonna, is also rumoured to be appearing in the movie.
