Olivia Colman has signed on to star in Irish feel-good drama Joyride.

The film follows Joy, who’s described as something of a train-wreck.

She’s ready to give away her newborn baby to her best friend and embark on an adventure. What she can’t anticipate is that a cheeky street urchin is also along for the ride.

The film is set to shoot next year along the Wild Atlantic Way in West Ireland.
