Sam Riley has joined the cast of Saul Dibb's World War II drama "Suite Francaise" says Deadline.


Based on author Irène Némirovsky's novel, the story charts the love affair between a young French woman (Michelle Williams) and the German officer (Matthias Schoenaerts) assigned to watch her in Nazi-occupied France.

Riley will play the role of a French soldier named Benoit.

Kristin Scott Thomas is set to play Williams' mother.

Dibb and Matt Charman wrote the adapted script.

Michael Kuhn will produce the pic.

Production begins in Belgium and Paris later this summer.
