is owned, in part, by Morgan Freeman and is one of the producers
involved in this film. From their website:
“A scintillating
crime thriller surrounding a master thief (Freeman) and a stubborn
protégé (Banderas) as they attempt to steal the infamous
Russian Faberge eggs from an impenetrable vault. With every twist
and turn the two men are drawn further away from the underlying
“Thieve’s Code”.”
According to Variety:
The film is about "a veteran thief who recruits a younger crook
to help him pull off one final job in order to repay his debt to
the Russian mob."
Mitchell has been
cast as a temptress whose romantic liaison with a thief - played
by Banderas - threatens to come between him and his partner in crime.
Filming started in
early October 2007 at Brighton Beach and after only a few days moved
on to Bulgaria where the film crew received a warm welcome from
city officials including the mayor.
Shooting in Bulgaria
is scheduled to last until the end of December 2007. Morgan Freeman
is scheduled to depart in early December and Antonio will remain
until the end of shooting.
