The story follows a veteran con man (Smith) who gets romantically involved with a newcomer to the grifter business. They get involved which becomes perilous in a business where you lie and cheat for a living.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ("Crazy, Stupid, Love") wrote the script and will direct.
Denise Dinovi is producing the film.
Smith had been considering the film for some time, he has only now committed to join it. Kristen Stewart was previously attached to co-star, but with Smith's hiring she has now opted out. It's reported that the age difference between the two would be "too large a gap".
Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone were previously linked to the project in the lead roles. A shame that Ryan and Emma had moved on. They are so great together...Stewart was to star with Ben Affleck but he bolted after a scheduling snafu.
