Lovely Scarlett Johansson is to play a jewel thief in Barry Levinson's (Rain Man) new heist movie, Brilliant.
The project, written by Gillian Gorfil and Elizabeth Shorten, sees Johansson's character team up with a con man to pull off the "greatest heist in history" reports Empire. Naturally the relationship is complicated when they fall for one another.
Levinson will begin shooting after completing work on WWII drama My Italian Story - the tale of an Italy-based Jewish refugee who goes in search of a rabbi to perform his bar mitzvah. Johansson meanwhile is currently filming The Nanny Diaries in London.
