Gabourey Sidibe has been cast in her first major film role since her Oscar-nominated turn in Precious.
She'll star alongside Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller in the action comedy Tower Heist!
Sidibe and Michael Pena will portray workers in a luxury high-rise who discover their pension funds have been emptied out by a white collar crook a la Bernie Madoff.
Since her breakout role, Sidibe has also costarred in the Showtime series the Big C, alongside Laura Linney.
