The BBC’s Hustle crew are conning their way on to the big screen. The show, which is generating healthy interest in the US via the AMC channel, will make the leap to the big screen thanks to Fox 2000.
There’s no word on casting yet, but Empire’s voodoo dolls are primed and ready should the studio think about replacing regular team Adrian Lester, Marc Warren, Jaime Murray, Robert Glenister and Robert Vaughn. At least the man with the scripting job is legit from the start – co-creator/writer Tony Jordon will be on screenwriting duty.
Regular director Bharat Nalluri might be called upon for the movie, but right now all other details – including a plot – are still swirling in the rumour mill.
