Variety reports that Sean Connery has signed to star in Josiah’s Canon for 20th Century Fox, while Brett Ratner is in negotiations to direct the film, which is a dramatic heist story concerns a Holocaust survivor (Connery) who leads the world’s foremost team of bank robbers.
The criminal mastermind sets his sights on an supposedly impenetrable bank in Switzerland, which holds special appeal: It purportedly houses money deposited by Jews before the Holocaust.
