R&B star Chris Brown is in negotiations to star in John Lussenhop’s upcoming thriller “Bone Deep,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot centers on a gang of criminals who plan a tricky heist at a money depot. Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and rapper T.I. (Clifford Joseph Harris Jr.) are already on board.

Brown celebrated his big-screen debut with last year’s success hit “Stomp the Yard.” He also starred in Preston A. Whitmore’s surprise comedy “This Christmas.”

Could “Bone Deep” be the “Mad Money” for men? I know it’s going to be thriller and not a comedy, but a bunch of gangsters trying to rob a money depot sounds somewhat familiar. Time will tell.
