Darren Aronofsky, accalimed director of "The Wrestler," is set to direct and produce a heist thriller based on the true story of the 2006 robbery of $85 million at the Securitas Depot in Tonbridge, England.
Kerry Williamson is writing the screenplay based on Howard Sounes' book "Heist: The Inside Story of the World's Biggest Robbery" and a Sports Illustrated magazine article titled "Breaking the Bank."
Aronofsky is also prepping "Black Swan," about an experienced ballerina who's having a hard time dealing with a rival dancer. Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis star.
Aronofsky's credits also include "The Fountain," "Requiem for a Dream" and "Pi." Williamson adapted "Fork in the Road" for Alexander Payne.
