When A Superhero & A Jedi Go Bad

There's not one but two films dealing with famous bank robbers in the works according to The Los Angeles Times.

"The Robber," is a remake of Benjamin Heisenberg's German film about a marathon runner who robs banks for sport. "The Amazing Spider-Man" star Andrew Garfield has expressed interest in the leading role, an interest that will be helped by the fact Laura Ziskin produces both Spidey and Robber .


This time it's expected this version of the film will add more backstory to the characters.

The other is "Electric Slide" with "Blue Valentine" producer Jamie Patricof ready to oversee its path to release

Ewan McGregor is attached to play Eddie Dodson, a gentlemen thief who robbed banks all over Southern California to support his trendy Melrose Avenue shop as well as a growing drug habit.


A new script draft from writer-director Tristan Patterson is due in to the studio within the next few weeks.
