Zeta Jones and Douglas set to work together

Catherine Zeta Jones is teaming up with husband Michael Douglas for a new movie.

US trade newspaper Variety reports that the couple, currently embroiled in a legal battle with Hello! magazine over photos of their wedding, will star in Monkeyface, a racetrack heist thriller.

The film will be produced by Laura Bickford, who made the Traffic with the pair, and directed by Stephen Frears.

The film’s title is the name of a horse and the script revolves around cheating a racetrack, with Douglas and Zeta Jones playing conniving hustlers.

Monkeyface will be the first film she makes after giving birth to the couple’s second child, due in April.
