"An art heist gone wrong, and it's got the dark, sexy, hard-edged tone of Boyle films like Shallow Grave and Trainspotting,"Joe Ahearne wrote the script for the film, which will be produced by Boyle's producing partner Christian Colson. Because of his duties directing the opening ceremonies for next summer's Olympics he will start production on August of 2012 and prepare it for a release in March of 2013.
Michael Fassbender is in talks to be the lead in the film.
