According to Deadline.com, Tony nominee Christopher Walken has signed on to star in Martin McDonagh's 'Seven Psychopaths' film. Walken joins Colin Farrell and Sam Rockwell in the movie, which will begin production this fall. 

In the film, Farrell stars as 'a screenwriter who struggles to find the handle on his script, called Seven Psychopaths. He gets drawn into the dognapping escapades of his friends (played by Rockwell and Walken). Once the beloved Shih Tzu owned by a psychopathic gangster goes missing, the screenwriter finds himself fueled with all the drama he needs for his screenplay, if he can stay alive long enough to write it all down.'
