Bryne, who replaces Greta Gerwig (Greenberg), will star opposite Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine) and Bradley Cooper (Limitless). Gerwig was forced to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.
A motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) considers committing a crime in order to provide for his wife and child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician (Cooper).
The film, which is Derek Cianfrance’s follow-up to Blue Valentine, began production two weeks ago in Schenectady.
Byrne can currently be seen in the smash-hit R-rated comedy Bridesmaids.
