Daniel Craig and Bill Murray are joining Cate Blanchett and Jean Dujardin in George Clooney's The Monument's Men.
A rep for George Clooney confirmed the castings.
Blanchett will play the role of Rose Valland, an art historian and member of the French resistance. Dujardin, who became the first French actor to win an Oscar for Best Actor earlier this year (for The Artist), will play a supporting role in this story about a group of men and women who chased down the stolen art of Europe during the Second World War.
The Monument's Men is based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, by Robert M Edsel.
Clooney will star in the film and also direct. He is also producing and writing the screenplay with Grant Heslov. Clooney plays George Stout, a U.S. Army officer and leading art conservationist, who repatriated tens of thousands of pieces of art from the Nazis.
The film is shooting in Germany, Austria, Paris and England next spring.
