Sir Michael Caine is at again. After letting it slip that Johnny Depp and Philip Seymour Hoffman were being cast as The Riddler and The Penguin in the next Batman movie (something that Warner Bros denies) he is once again spilling more secrets.
Talking to MTV, he revealed that he is starring in a heist thriller alongside his Prestige co-star Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey.
He said, "I have Harry Brown (elderly vigilante thriller). Then I’ll probably do a film with Scarlett Johansson. I forget what it’s called. It’s an adventure film. I was told yesterday that they have Matthew McConaughey as the guy. I’ve got go home and read it again. It’s a heist adventure film.”
Just to jog Caine's memory, the film is in fact called Brilliant. But prior to Caine's refreshing frankness, there was no official word on casting.
We presume movie studios will be keeping a close eye on Caine in the future.
