United Front

Actors Stephen Graham, Martin Compston (pictured) and Peter McDonald have all joined the cast of "The Damned United according to Variety.

The film is a biopic of legendary egotistical and eccentric English soccer coach Brian Clough looking at his ill-tempered and short-lived tenure as coach at Leeds United in 1974.

Michael Sheen landed the lead as Clough, while Graham plays captain Billy Bremne,...McDonald and Compston will be players Johnny Giles and John O'Hare, respectively.

Written by Peter Morgan-the film has potential to be a unique sports flick given the temperment of its subject matter.

Tom Hooper will direct the the film set for release next year
