Four-time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore and stage and screen actress Olivia Thirlby will join Robert De Niro and Paul Dano in the upcoming film "Another Night," according to Variety. Paul Weitz is writing and directing the project.

The movie is based on Nick Flynn's 2004 memoir "Another Bulls Night in Suck City," tells the story of a young writer (Dano) who takes a job at a homeless shelter in Boston.
