Perplessità: anche Motor City fu portato in prevendita al Film Market di Cannes e promosso con tanto di photocall, ma poi si finì come si finì...

Speriamo che il precedente non porti jella.
Altro pensiero... Il nome della compagnia di produzione di Alan e Gerard è cambiato di nuovo, dall'Evil Twins degli esordi, poi cambiato in Gerard Butler Alan Siegel Entertainment per i problemi di omonimia con altra azienda, per arrivare all'attuale e più sintetico G-Base, ovvero le iniziali prese in fila di Gerard Butler Alan Siegel Entertainment.

G-Base... Non suona male!

Aggiorniamoci anche su quest'ultimo progetto...

Gerard Butler Enters Den Of Thieves
He'll star in the heist thriller

14 May 2014

After logging years in development hell, writer/director Christian Gudegast must be feeling fairly happy right now. He’s finally locked down a leading man for his heist thriller Den Of Thieves, with Gerard Butler set to star as a master criminal caught in a tricky situation.

Gudegast will be relieved that he’s actually reached this stage, since he originally co-wrote the heist script with Paul Scheuring back in 1998 and watched it tumble through a void of meetings, drafts and decisions. At one point, Peter Berg appeared set to direct it, but moved on to other things. Then, in 2008, Gudegast was handed the chance to call the shots himself.

He has Butler on to play the thief figuring out his most audacious robbery yet, taking down the Federal Reserve in Los Angeles under the nose of a corrupt sheriff’s deputy. The plan becomes even more complicated when he’s caught between two groups of criminals. Relativity is backing this one and has brought the project to Cannes to sell international rights.

There’s no mention of when Gudegast might actually have the cameras rolling, and Butler’s schedule is fairly busy. He’s already dropped out of the Point Break remake because of a clash with Olympus Has Fallen sequel London Has Fallen. Yet we’re betting Gudegast might be happy to hold off if need be – he’s waited this long, after all…

Aggiungiamo un bel nome al cast

Sam Worthington to Star in Heist Movie ‘Den of Thieves’ With Gerard Butler (Exclusive)

Christian Gudegast is directing the Relativity project, which counts Mark Canton among its producers

“Avatar” star Sam Worthington is set to join Gerard Butler in Relativity Studios’ crime drama “Den of Thieves,” an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

Christian Gudegast will direct from his own screenplay. The heist movie follows a notorious crew of bank robbers who target the Federal Reserve in Los Angeles, right under the nose of a rogue sheriff’s deputy.

Representatives for Worthington did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Mark Canton and Butler’s G-Base producing partner Alan Siegel are teaming with Relativity’s Ryan Kavanaugh and Tucker Tooley to produce the film, which Butler will executive produce with Chris Bender and JC Spink.

Relativity’s Robbie Brenner will oversee the project on behalf of the studio. The film will begin shooting in January in Los Angeles and Puerto Rico.

Canton recently worked with Worthington on the Jennifer Aniston drama “Cake,” in which the Aussie actor played her grieving love interest. Canton is currently in post-production on Lionsgate’s new Vin Diesel tentpole “Last Witch Hunter,” coming out in October.

Worthington next stars alongside Josh Brolin and Jake Gyllenhaal in Universal’s “Everest,” and he’ll soon be seen opposite Brit Marling in Daniel Barber’s period thriller “The Keeping Room.” He also recently wrapped Jonathan Mostow’s action-thriller “Hunter’s Prayer.”

Worthington, who will return to star in James Cameron’s “Avatar” sequels, is represented by CAA, Anonymous Content and attorneys Steve Warren and Dan Fox

Sam Worthington raggiunge Gerard Butler in Den of Thieves
28 aprile 2015 - Daniela Catelli

Sam Worthington si è unito a Gerard Butler, già scritturato, nel cast di Den of Thieves, letteralmente “covo di ladri”, un film scritto e diretto da Christian Gudegast che ha diretto quest'ultimo in London Has Fallen.

La storia è incentrato su una gang di rapinatori di banche che prendono di mira la Riserva Federale di Los Angeles, facendola franca proprio sotto il naso di un rude vicesceriffo.

Le riprese si svolgeranno nel gennaio 2016 a Los Angeles e Portorico.

In attesa dei sequel di Avatar, rivedremo Worthington in Cake con Jennifer Aniston, che arriverà nei nostri cinema il 7 maggio e in Everest (un titolo che in questo momento evoca immagini orribili). L'attore ha anche interpretato il thriller in costume The Keeping Room e l'action thriller di Jonathan Mostow Hunter's Prayer.

Dunque, fiato sospeso fino a Gennaio 2016 quando inizieranno le riprese...
...Speriamo che il progetto non subisca "imprevisti"....
...Perché sennò ho aperto la discussione per niente.
