Today, BLOOM announced that Oscar nominees John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire) and Toni Collette have signed on to star in the CIA thriller UNLOCKED. Principal photography on the project got underway on November 3. The actors join previously announced cast members Noomi Rapace, Michael Douglas and Orlando Bloom in the film directed by Michael Apted.

Based on a screenplay by Peter O'Brien, Unlocked follows CIA interrogator (Rapace) who unwittingly provides information to terrorists and then must race against the clock to stop a biological warfare attack on London.

BLOOM's Alex Walton commented, "We are thrilled to have John and Toni's unmatchable talent join our already outstanding cast. This additional caliber combined with our fresh and smart European script models a unique and dynamic package that is bound to excite audiences worldwide."

Collette will star opposite Drew Barrymore in the upcoming drama 'Miss You Already,' now filming in London. She recently appeared alongside Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts, and Marisa Tomei on Broadway in "The Realistic Joneses," a play written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Will Eno and directed by Sam Gold. Her upcoming films include "Lucky Them" (May 2014), "The Long Way Down" (July 2014), "The Boxtralls" (September 2014), and "Glassland."

Collette was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in "The Sixth Sense" and won both an Emmy and a Golden Globe for "Best Actress in a Comedy Series" for her performance in Showtime's hit series "The United States of Tara."
