More actors sign on for "Three Days" with Paul Haggis

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Olivia Wilde and Jonathan Tucker have joined the cast of writer-director Paul Haggis' thriller "The Next Three Days."

Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks topline the Lionsgatemovie, which revolves around a woman imprisoned for a murder she claims she didn't commit and her husband, who tries to vindicate her.

Wilde will play a young mother who befriends the husband; Tucker will play a street tough running a meth lab.

Shooting begins this week in Pittsburgh.

Wilde is in the cast of Fox's "House," which returned to high ratings last week, and stars opposite Garrett Hedlund in "Tron Legacy."

Tucker starred in Haggis' series "The Black Donnellys" and his feature "In the Valley of Elah." He also has appeared in indie dramas including "Flying Lessons," "Meskada," "Veronika Decides to Die" and "An Englishman in New York."
