VERA Farmiga and James Caan have joined the cast of new Keanu Reeves romantic comedy Henry’s Crime.

The film follows the fortunes of a big-hearted man (played by Reeves) who is sent to prison after falsely being accused of robbing a bank in Buffalo. When he comes out, he decides to rob the bank for real.

Farmiga will play the romantic interest of Reeves’ character, according to Variety, although it has not yet been revealed what Caan will do.

Henry’s Crime will be directed by Malcolm Venville, who made his feature film debut with 44 Inch Chest at the London Film Festival, and begins shooting in upstate New York later this year.

Farmiga was most recently seen in the chiller Orphan and will next line up alongside George Clooney in Jason Reitman’s acclaimed Up In The Air
