We haven’t heard a huge amount from Eric Bana recently, except for his role in the recent action flick Hanna. However now he’s lining himself up a new project, as Variety reports that Bana is in talks to star in the heist thriller Brilliant, directed by Robert Luketic (The Ugly Truth).
The film revolves around a small-time criminal who joins accomplished thieves in a diamond heist and gets way more than he bargained for when he tries to mingle with the guys from the thievery big leagues. It’s not entirely clear what role Bana is up for, although presumably he’ll be the out of his depth criminal. Some reports also suggest Cameron Diaz will be in the movie, although again it’s not known what role she’d be playing.
It’s not known when Brilliant will start shooting, but expect to hear more soon.
