George Burns, Art Carney and Lee Strasberg starred in the original as seniors who, tired of the monotonous life of feeding pigeons and waiting for social security, decide to rob a bank.
Braff didn't get an official offer yet but has had discussions with a deal expected to come together shortly.
Ted Melfi ("St. Vincent") has written the adapted script but couldn't direct due to scheduling concerns. The studio began talks with Don Scardino to call action, but a deal couldn't be reached. Melfi was set to take over again but will not.
Variety adds that Dustin Hoffman is in talks to join Morgan Freeman and Sir Michael Caine are in talks to star.
Donald De Line is serving as the film's producer. Filming hopes to begin in the spring
