British actress Carey Mulligan gets cast in a female “buddy movie” while Jessica Biel goes from mob mistress to state witness.

Oscar nominees Carey Mulligan (An Education) and Saoirse Ronan (Atonement) are set to star in the dark comedy Violet and Daisy, described as Thelma and Louise meets Superbad and Pulp Fiction. Oscar-winning screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher (Precious) wrote the script and will direct.

Ronan is in production with the Joe Wright film about a teenage assassin, Hanna, starring Eric Bana and Cate Blanchett. Mulligan has been working on Never Let Me Go with Kiera Knightley about dark schoolgirl secrets. Fletcher is also finishing Attica, a prison riot drama by director Doug Liman
