London Town, which is set in the British capital in the 1970s, follows a 14-year-old boy whose life is forever changed after his estranged mother introduces him to Strummer's music.

Production is currently underway in London, with The Joneses filmmaker Derrick Borte directing from a script by Kirsten Sheridan, Sonya Gildea and Matthew Brown.

The drama, which co-stars Dougray Scott and Natascha MCElhone, is reportedly set to feature some of The Clash's biggest hits after producers managed to secure the rights to the tunes, according to ScreenDaily.com.

A release date has yet to be set.

The film is Meyers' first project since he suffered a relapse in his long-running battle with alcohol in May (15), when he was pictured looking bleary-eyed and dishevelled as he swigged from a bottle of vodka on a London street.

He subsequently issued a public apology over the "minor" booze setback, and assured fans he has quit drinking once again with the support of his rumoured fiancee Mara Lane.
