Two-time Oscar nominee Woody Harrelson is joining the star-studded cast of George Clooney‘s dark domestic dramedy “Suburbicon,” TheWrap has exclusively learned.

Matt Damon is set to star alongside Julianne Moore, Josh Brolin and Oscar Isaac. Black Bear Pictures is financing the project, which Paramount acquired out of the Berlin Film Festival.

Joel and Ethan Coen wrote the script, and the film is being produced by Joel Silver of Silver Pictures, Teddy Schwarzman of Black Bear, and Clooney and Grant Heslov of Smokehouse Pictures.

Harrelson previously worked with Brolin and the Coen brothers on “No Country for Old Men,” which Paramount Vantage released in 2007.

Harrelson recently starred in John Hillcoat‘s “Triple 9” and will soon be seen in “Now You See Me 2” and alongside Liam Hemsworth in “The Duel.” The veteran actor has also wrapped several projects including Rob Reiner‘s “LBJ,” Craig Johnson’s adaptation of Daniel Clowes‘ “Wilson,” the teen comedy “The Edge of Seventeen” with Hailee Steinfeld, and Matt Reeves‘ 20th Century Fox tentpole “War for the Planet of the Apes.”

Additionally, Harrelson has been busy filming Martin McDonagh‘s “Three Billboard Outside Ebbing, Missouri” and is preparing to shoot “The Glass Castle” with Brie Larson and Naomi Watts. He’s represented by CAA. A representative for Harrelson did not respond to a request for comment.
