What could Adrien Brody possibly have in common with Jordana Brewster? Well, for one thing, they’re both B-list actors right now (sorry, Adrien, but it’s been more than a decade since “The Pianist”).
More importantly, the two have reportedly signed for a heist movie called simply “American Heist”. The thriller will be inspired by a real-life robbery from half a century ago, which was previously brought to the big screen by Steve McQueen and the gang in 1959.
That actually doesn’t sound bad, but the “American Heist” cast is… well, weird. Aside from Brody and Brewster, Hayden Christensen and Akon are signed for yet to be revealed roles. Christensen, who was once upon a time a fairly promising young thesp, has last been on our radar in 2008 (for “Jumper”, so all the wrong reasons), while Akon has only one acting credit so far, in something called “Black November”.
Turning our attention back to Brody and Brewster, let’s mention the former will next be seen in “Third Person”, a romantic drama directed by Paul Haggis, and Wes Anderson’s “The Grand Budapest Hotel”. Sounds like someone is making a comeback.
As for the latter, she just can’t find a decent gig outside the “Fast and Furious” franchise. “North of Hell” is the only other upcoming project Brewster is involved in, but that already sounds like a debacle, co-starring Katherine Heigl and Kevin McKidd.
