Doug Liman is in talks to direct a remake of the 1966 Michael Caine crime-film “Gambit”. The script has been penned by Joel and Ethan Coen.
The plot of the original centered around :
A cat burglar who tries to rob a billionaire of his priceless statue and enlists the help of a waitress who is a dead ringer for the victim’s late wife. While the burglar has carefully planned the job in his head, the execution is complicated by his relationship with his pretty accomplice.
This could really be a good make up and a way for Doug Liman to get his credit back after the horrendous “Jumper”.
