Colin Firth In Talks To Star In GAMBIT For The Coen Brothers
Colin Firth is currently in talks to star in the Coen Brothers’ remake of the 1966 British action comedy Gambit.
The original film starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine.
If Firth is cast, he would play a cat burglar who attempts to rob a billionaire of his priceless statue. He enlists the help of a waitress who looks exactly like the victim’s dead wife. The burglar’s usual precision is clouded by his relationship with his accomplice.
Colin Firth will likely going to get an Oscar nomination for his role in The King’s Speech, which I heard was a wonderful film. I really enjoy Colin Firth and to think of him being in a Coen Brothers film just sounds like a great idea for him since he is versatile and has great screen presence.
