Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone and English actor Jim Broadbent are the latest actors to join the stellar cast of Ryan Murphy's Dirty Tricks.

The film is set during the Watergate scandal and focuses on the wife of Richard Nixon's attorney general John Mitchell, played by Meryl Streep.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Annette Bening have also signed up.

Murphy described the movie to /Film saying: "It's about the women in Watergate, it's very different than Ron Howard's upcoming Frost/Nixon. I love Ron Howard's movie. That was about what a nightmare Nixon was to get the rights for the Frost interview, and the negotiations back and fourth for that. Mine is really much more about one of the first Cassandra's of our century."
