Billy Crudup has been roped in to star opposite Jullianne Moore in the American remake of "After The Wedding".
The 49-year-old actor will be playing Oscar, the loving husband to Moore's Theresa, Deadline reported.
The film is based on the 2006 Oscar-nominated Danish film of the same name directed by Susanne Bier that starred Mads Mikkelsen.
Bart Freundlich, who is Moore's real-life spouse, is directing the remake from his own script.
Joel B Michaels and Silvio Muraglia are producing the remake.
The new film follows the director of an Indian orphanage on the verge of bankruptcy, who discovers that her organisation is in contention to receive a large charitable donation from a wealthy American businesswoman, forcing her to travel to New York City, where she is confronted by a past she tried to forget.
Also starring Michelle Williams, the production of the project will begin this spring.
