Sally Hawkins (Made in Dagenham), Paul Giamatti (Win Win) and Paul Rudd (Knocked Up) have signed on to star in dramedy Lucky Dog.

Lucky Dog centers on two rival conmen who pair up on a get-rich-quick-scheme to sell Christmas tress in New York.

Phil Morrison, the filmmaker behind the acclaimed Junebug, will direct from a screenplay penned by Melissa James Gibson.

Lucky Dog will be a co-production between Sidney Kimmel Entertainment, HanWay Films and GreeneStreet Films, with shooting expected to begin next month in New York City.

HanWay Films will shop the worldwide distribution rights at the European Film Market in Berlin.
