American actress Maggie Gyllenhaal has reportedly signed on for a new film project with Irish stars Michael Fassbender and Domhnall Gleeson.

RTE reports on the new project, an indie film called ‘Frank.’ The project is set to film in Dublin.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that the new film is “a comedy about a young wannabe musician, Jon (Gleeson), who discovers he's bitten off more than he can chew when he joins a band of eccentric pop musicians led by the mysterious and enigmatic Frank (Fassbender) and his terrifying sidekick Clara (Gyllenhaal).

The movie is to begin filming in New Mexico this week, and will later shoot in Ireland.
