Gambit Remake Grabs 2 More; First Pic

Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman have joined the cast of the "Gambit" remake says The Hollywood Reporter, as the first official photo debuts


The story centers on British art curator Harry Deane (Colin Firth) who devises a finely-crafted scheme to con England's richest man and avid art collector, Lionel Shabandar, (Alan Rickman) into purchasing a fake Monet painting.  In order to bait his buyer, he recruits a Texas rodeo queen (Cameron Diaz) to cross the pond and pose as a woman whose grandfather liberated the painting at the end of World War II

The original 1966 British caper comedy starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine
Joel and Ethan Coen wrote the updated script from which Michael Hoffman ("The Last Station") directs.

Mike Lobell will produce..

The project is currently shooting in London.
