Details of a new West End murder mystery film have been announced, with a star-studded cast including Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan.

See How They Run is a London-based thriller, which has been filmed at various theatres across the city including the Dominion Theatre, the Old Vic and St Martin's Theatre.

The plot follows plans to adapt a major West End hit play into a movie – only for one of the crew to be murdered.

Directed by Tom George, Rockwell leads the cast as Inspector Stoppard, alongside Saoirse Ronan (Constable Stalker), Adrien Brody (Leo Köpernick), David Oyelowo (Mervyn Cocker-Norris), Ruth Wilson (Petula Spencer), Reece Shearsmith (John Woolf), Sian Clifford (Edana Romney), Shirley Henderson (a Dame), Charlie Cooper (Dennis the Usher), Jacob Fortune-Lloyd (Gio), Paul Chahidi (Fellowes), Pearl Chanda (Sheila Sim), Harris Dickinson (Dickie Attenborough) and Pippa Bennett-Warner (Ann Saville).

The character list, as you can see, is already packed full of stagey and literary easter eggs – Attenborough, Fellowes, Woolf, Petula, to give a few nods. There are also some theatre greats in the cast – Oyelowo, Henderson, Shearsmith, Chahidi, Chanda and Wilson.

The film is currently set for release some time next year.
