Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell for London Boulevard
Monahan landed the directing gig after successfully adapting the Ken Bruen novel of the same name.
In London Boulevard Farrell will play a South London criminal who, after release from prison, tries to give up the gangster life by becoming a handyman for a reclusive young actress.
Farrell's a hot item at the moment, thanks to his recent Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (In Bruges).
Keira Knightley will next star in Last Night and is attached to play The Beautiful and the Damned.
Production on London Boulevard is set to begin this summer in London.
