Variety reports that Edward Norton and Colin Farrell are in final talks to co-star in New Line's cop drama "Pride and Glory," which is scheduled to start shooting next January.

"Gavin O'Connor will direct a script he wrote with Joe Carnahan. Greg O'Connor is producing. Shooting will begin in January in New York.

Norton is poised to play a homicide detective who is assigned to investigate the precinct run by his older brother (Noah Emmerich). Farrell plays the investigator's best friend, a cop in that precinct who might be dirty himself.

"My father was a New York City detective, and I grew up in that world," the director said. "It's a celebration of honest cops, which was everything my father was about. Though it is fictional, it is an homage to my father."
