Film Future: The Maident Heist (Release Unknown)

One of the unfortunate casualties to come from the bankruptcy of the Yari Film Group, 'The Maiden Heist' was all set to go at the end of May, but now we could be a long way off from seeing this all-star museum-heist caper. Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken and William H. Macy star in this promising comedy about three museum security guards who become very attached to the works they guard. When their favourite pieces are sent to another museum, they band together to steal them back. From the director of the second 'Bill and Ted' (and little else), creatively this is going to be hard to predict, but the cast alone cements my attention. I can't help thinking of last year's 'The Bucket List', which received pretty mixed reviews despite not only Freeman, but also Jack Nicholson and Rob Reiner ('This is Spinal Tap') involved. Could this do better? If it appears soon I'd think so, given that it's going to need picking up by another distributor. If anyone is willing to reshuffle their summer schedule to accommodate the film it can only mean good things. Otherwise expect this to slip-by unnoticed next January...
