The 32-year-old Northern Irish actor will join the cast of the new Weinstein Company culinary-themed movie "Adam Jones," The Wrap reported.
The film will be directed by John Wells from a screenplay written by Steven Knight.
Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher are producing alongside Erwin Stoff.

The film was originally titled "Chef" but it was later changed to "Adam Jones" to avoid confusion with Jon Favreau's 2014 indie comedy hit film "Chef," according to Daily Mail,
Aside from Dornan, the movie will also star Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller, Emma Thompson, Daniel Bruhl, Riccardo Scamarcio, Lily James and Alicia Vikander.
Cooper will play the title role: a genius hot-shot chef who comes back to London to find a third Michelin star after leaving the kitchen for several years and assemble a top-notch kitchen staff to help him out realize his goal.
Miller, on the other hand, will play a subordinate chef.
Details about Dornan's role are being kept under wraps.
Several of the cast members spent a day with English celebrity chef Marcus Wareing at his two Michelin-starred Marcus restaurant at the Berkeley in Knightsbridge, London to prepare for their kitchen-related roles, according to Daily Mail.
For instance, Sienna , who has also been shooting "Black Mass" with Johnny Depp, practiced her chopping skills, and keenly observed how Wareing and his colleagues did their cooking tricks.
The movie will start filming in and around London soon.
Dornan's previous acting credits include Sofia Coppola's 2006 historical comedy-drama film "Marie Antoinette" and ABC's fairy tale drama series "Once Upon a Time," where he played the role of Sheriff Graham. But he is best known for playing a serial killer on British-Irish crime drama series "The Fall."
Dornan was recently voted as one of the "hottest hunks" in the world by Heat magazine, Belfast Telegraph reported.
