NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Kathy Baker and James Brolin have joined Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson in the indie romantic drama "Last Chance Harvey."

Baker plays the ex-wife of Hoffman, a down-on-his-luck New York jingle writer with a tough boss (Richard Schiff). He becomes romantically involved with a lonely bureaucrat (Thompson) with an overbearing mother (Eileen Atkins) on a trip to London.

Brolin plays the new husband of Baker's character, and Liane Balaban plays the daughter who brings all of them together at a British wedding.

"Harvey" begins principal photography Monday in and around London.
