Heist is nice

After the sleeper-hit success of crime-drama Four Brothers this summer, Mark Wahlberg is snapping into fuꦿll throttle action mode for a seque🌞l to the 2003 box office smash The Italian Job .

“Charlize Theron and everybody is in, so we're just waiting for the right s💯cript,” Wahlberg revealed. “Hopefully, I think, probably around summertime we're gonna film it.”

Said script is currently bei🤪ng penned by David Twohy, who did stints at the typewriter for ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚGI Jane and The Chronicles Of Riddick. Wahlberg insisted that the cast, which also includes Jason Statham, Seth Green and Mos Def, won’t be rushed into a production at the expense of quality.

“A lot of people really liked The Italian Job, and a lot of movie sequels don't live up to the original, so we want to make it as good, or better; and we're all🐻 patient.”

Wahlberg will agaꦇin star as Charlie Croker, a role first played by Michael Caine in Peter Collinson’s original 1969 crime caper of the same name.

F Gary Gray helmed🦩 the remake which hauled in over $175 ꦆmillion worldwide. Gray is being lined up to shoot the sequel, tentatively titled The Brazilian Job.

Just a sugg🐽estion for Paramount, you might want to come up with a title that doesn’t bring te🥃ars to women’s eyes the world over...
