By Adnan Tezer Mar 23, 2011, 19:39 GMT
Alan Rickman is in talks to join Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz in CBS Films' "Gambit," a remake of the 1966 British caper comedy that originally starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine.
According to Variety, veteran English actor Sir Tom Courtenay ("The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner," "Doctor Zhivago") has also joined the cast.
Shooting begins in London in May with Michael Hoffman ("The Last Station") directing.
Joel and Ethan Coen are writing the script.
Crime Scene Pictures' Mike Lobell, Adam Ripp and Rob Paris are producing.
Firth plays a London art curator planning an elaborate con to convince a rich collector (Rickman) into buying a fake Monet painting. He recruits a Texas steer roper (Diaz) to pretend to be a woman whose grandfather stole the painting at the end of WWII.
Rickman will be seen as Severus Snape in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," which Warner Bros. releases on July 15.
