Robert Luketic, director of Legally Blonde, 21, The Ugly Truth and Killers, will be helming the diamond heist film, Brilliant for Lakeshore Entertainment, according to Variety. And yes, looking at that list of luketic’s flicks, I don’t have much hope for this new film either.
Written by Gillian Gorfil and Elizabeth Shorten, the film revolves around a small-time criminal who joins accomplished thieves in a diamond heist.
The long gestating project has been around for 3 years, and back then, was rumored to have Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johansson and Michael Caine attached. However none of them are attached to the movie any longer, and as yet, no replacements have been found. With Luketic on board, casting is about to begin (but please don’t let him hire Killers star Ashton Kutcher).
