Connery is said to be ready and willing to give the prematurely
squashed "Josiah's Canon" another go.
The semi-retired actor, who last year walked away from 'Canon' to concentrate
on his writing, is in talks to rejoin the production. Brett Ratner
will resume his directing position.
"20th Century Fox apparently intended on getting the movie
up-and-going again - but they assumed with a new star. To their
surprise, Connery's considering it now", an insider tells
Moviehole.
It's unsure when the film will go ahead, but both Ratner,
currently helming "X-Men 3", and the studio, "are
hoping for a Fall start". It will film in Prague.
The dramatic heist story is about a Holocaust survivor who leads
the world's foremost team of bank robbers. The criminal mastermind
sets his sights on a supposedly impenetrable bank in Switzerland,
which holds special appeal. It purportedly houses gold deposited
by Jews prior to the Holocaust.
Adam Fields will produce.
