Breaking Bad actor Aaron Paul has landed a role in the upcoming film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel Long Way Down, according to Belfast Telegraph.

The actor will star alongside Pierce Brosnan, Toni Collette and Imogen Poots in the drama, about a quartet of people who plan to commit suicide.

Emmy-winner Aaron will play a pizza delivery man who is befriended by the others - a TV talk show host, the mother of a disabled boy and a teenage girl - after they meet on the roof of a building on New Year's Eve.

The film is expected to start shooting in London in September.
