She joins Chiwetel Ejiofor and Gwyneth Paltrow, who signed up to the film earlier this year.



Captain Phillips writer Billy Ray, who will also direct the film, adapted the script from the original crime thriller before rewriting specifically for Roberts, according to The Wrap.
The film will focus on Ejiofor's former MI5 official who heads to Boston, Massachusetts to aid a team of FBI agents investigating an unsolved murder.
The original movie was made in 2009 by Argentine director Juan José Campanella, who also co-wrote the script.

The Secret in Their Eyes claimed the Best Foreign Language Film prize at the 2010 Academy Awards, beating Ajami, The Milk of Sorrow, A Prophet and The White Ribbon.
The film is to begin production in Boston later this year.
