Gerard Butler Boards Heist Thriller DEN OF THIEVES

Is Gerard Butler a manly movie actor and worthy of our praise and attention?  I’d wager that there is a case for this.  300, Gamer, Law Abiding Citizen… the very strong Olympus Has Fallen and not to mention dropping out of Point Break (shitty remake you gotta speculate) in favour of London Has Fallen.

Add another one to the list… DEN OF THIEVES.

Butler will 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.

Director Christian Gudegast has been trying to get this one off the ground since the 1990s.  Which may not be a good sign but it sure is a good outline.
