The film, described as a cross between Heat and Dog Day Afternoon, will be produced by Tobey Maguire through his Material Pictures label with Matt Plouffe and Reeves, though no word on whether the Spider-Man actor will star in the movie. The project was developed at Material Pictures several years ago, and was snatched up by Reeves recently as a directing vehicle after he finishes a Planet of the Apes sequel which Fox has slated for July 29, 2016.
Charman is hot off of Steven Spielberg’s Tom Hanks-led Untitled U-2 Spy Plane Film (also known as St. James Place), which he co-wrote with Joel and Ethan Coen and comes out October 16, 2015.
