New Poster, Trailer for Comedy Crime Caper Gambit

A new poster (right; click for slightly larger image) and trailer (below) for the comedy crime caper Gambit has been released by the studio. The poster's tagline: "A fake masterpiece. The perfect plan."

We admit we knew nothing about this film until we came across the poster and trailer. It is a remake of the 1966 British film of the same title starring Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine as a cat burglar and a dancer planning a foolproof heist. In the updated version, Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz play the same respective characters, though they have different professions.

There is quite a bit of star power in the film. Alan Rickman plays Herbert Lom's character from the original as the subject of the con, with Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman on board as well. The screenplay is by the Coen brothers, Ethan and Joel, though the film is directed by Michael Hoffman.

We actually can't find much more about the film. A Facebook page that supposedly exists doesn't, and there is no information about the film on the Momemtum Pictures website, the studio that uploaded the trailer.

The film opens in the UK on November 21st, but there is no US release date yet. Watch the trailer below.
