The Clash of the Titans helmer will direct Summit’s heist film, written by Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt. It’s about an FBI squad that chases a team of illusionists who pull off daring bank robberies during their performances and who share the spoils with their audiences while staying a step ahead of the law. It’s produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci via their Kurtzman Orci Paper Products production shingle. Before Clash of the Titans, Leterrier directed The Incredible Hulk and Transporter 2.


This is a fun script and should be a really good movie. The roles for the various magicians in the ensemble should be interesting to cast too (a motley crew of a David Copperfield-type mixed with a Chris Angel-type, etc.).
Finally an announcement on here for a big budget summer blockbuster-type movie that’s original and not an adaptation of some ridiculous graphic novel.
I totally agree– I really liked this. Clever, smart and something we haven’t really seen before. I’m looking forward to this one.
Thank you for the thoughts on your own script Mr. Main Event errr co-writer to Boaz.
The script is actually quite good! Glad to hear Leterrier is attached. It’s something a little different for him. And I’m sure he’ll knock it out of the park.
