Matt Damon and Mark Ruffalo have signed up to star in New York drama 'Margaret'.

The film, which will be written and directed by Kenneth Lonergan, revolves around a terrible bus crash that effects the lives of all those involved.

The three main characters are an actress, her daughter and another girl who may or may not have caused the accident, with 'X-Men' star Anna Paquin playing one of the latter two roles.

The film will mark the second collaboration between Lonergan and Ruffalo, their fisrt being the excellent relationship drama 'You Can Count on Me'.

'Margaret' is due to start shooting in the big apple next month, so expect it to hit screens sometime in 2006.

Before then, Ruffalo will appear in historical drama 'All the King's Men' opposite Jude Law and Sean Penn, while Damon will be seen in Terry Gilliam's 'The Brothers Grimm' and Martin Scorsese's 'The Departed'.
