Vergara is set to star alongside 'Kill Bill' star Uma Thurman, 45, and Tim Roth, 54, in the upcoming heist-comedy.

Thurman and Roth - who previously appeared alongside one another in the 1994 cult classic 'Pulp Fiction - will play a con-artist couple who flee to Los Angeles in an attempt to avoid paying off a large debt they owe to a gangster played by Maggie Q.

The pair attempt to win back the money they owe by teaming up with Roth's characters ex-wife, played by Alice Eve, for a jewellery theft operation.

Vergara, 43 - who most recently starred alongside Reese Witherspoon in the crime-comedy 'Hot Pursuit' - has signed on to play the mistress of Eve's characters new husband.

'Irrational Man' actress Parker Posey and the comedian Stephen Fry - who played the evil master of Laketown in 'The Hobbit' films - will also star in the James Oakley-directed movie.

Oakley co-wrote the script for the project - which is being produced by Cassian Elwes, Robert Ogden Barnum, JC Chandor and Dave Hansen - with Alex Michaelides.
