Dogs of Law is an upcoming Declan O’Dwyer‘s project that’s already being described as UK cop thriller. Today we learned that Luke Evans and Robert Carlyle are set to star in this movie, so I’m sure you’re interested to find out more about the whole thing with this cast on board, right? Check the rest of this report for more details.

Dogs of Law is written by Matthew Cooke and Vincent Lund, and as we said at the beginning, it’s going to be directed by first-timer Declan O’Dwyer.

O’Dwyer is TV veteran, and man who was behind the pilot for the cult British series Being Human.

Not much is known about the plot, but, according to the latest reports, Luke Evans is set to star as an undercover cop investigating corruption allegations levied against another officer, that will, of course, be played by Robert Carlyle.

The big-screen version of 21 Jump Street finally has a female lead. Brie Larson (United States of Tara, Scott Pilgrim vs the World) will play Molly in the rather unlikely R-rated comedy/action translation of the TV show that launched the career of a young Johnny Depp in 1987. Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) are directing from a script by Josh Appelbaum with Michael Bacall, Joe Gazzam, Jonah Hill and André Nemec. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum will play the primary roles as cops investigating the drug trade in a high school; Ice Cube is their captain. The Lord/Miller team had me locked after Cloudy, and this one has been talked up as a Bad Boys-style action picture. Let's hope that really happens. [Deadline [1]] After the break, Luke Evans joins Robert Carlyle in the UK cop thriller Dogs of Law while Pierce Brosnan signs for All You Need is Love.

Quickly rising hunk Luke Evans ("Tamara Drewe," "Immortals") and veteran thesp Robert Carlyle are set to team for the action thriller “Dogs of Law" reports Screen Daily.

Evans will play an undercover cop (Evans) in London who is investigating a corrupt colleague (Carlyle). The script

TV veteran Declan O’Dwyer ("Being Human") will direct from a script by Matthew Cooke and Vincent Lund. Shooting aims to kick off this Summer.

O’Dwyer is also developing the film noir "Broken Cove" about two feuding families in a small coastal British village in the 50's. Bernard Hill, Linda Bassett, Jason Flemyng, Danny Dyer and Antony Costa are attached to star.

There's a rumor floating around that out of work doctors turned filmmakers, Matt and Vince, are hard at work on a feature length version of their hilarious short and, after just viewing the 14 minute film, I'm crossing my fingers that this is indeed true. Why? Because Arthur's Lore is much more than just a spoof flick made by a couple of British dudes who think they're the next Pegg and Wright. It showcases the two as budding talents who are just as capable of making an exciting and action packed movie as they are at having a laugh. Plus, there's just as much of an influence from Jessica Hynes from Spaced so it wouldn't be fair to just point to the Pegg / Wright connection.

But anyway, read on to...
