Columbia Pictures is readying an updated version of its 1971 high-tech heist thriller The Anderson Tapes, with Jerry Maguire producer Laurence Mark set to produce from a script penned by the writing team of Laurence Malkin and Chad Thumann.
The original film, which starred Sean Connery, Christopher Walken and Dyan Cannon, centered on a career thief paroled from prison who resides in a posh apartment building with his girlfriend. With financing from the mob, the thief plans to rob the building, unaware that his every move is being recorded by law enforcement officials hoping to take down the crime kingpins.
"A high-tech heist movie is what 'The Anderson Tapes' will be, revolving around a crime that in this new version is entirely planned to be committed in full view of the most advanced surveillance equipment," Mark said. "That's the conceit of it -- and, hopefully, the fun of it."
