Gerard Butler and 50 Cent to come together in Den Of Thieves

Mumbai: Gerard Butler and Curtis Jackson (aka 50 cent) will be seen on screen together in director Christian Gudegast's gritty crime escapade, 'Den Of Thieves'.

A gritty Los Angeles crime saga, 'Den of Thieves' follows the intersecting and personally connected lives of an elite unit of the LA County Sheriff's Dept. and the state's most successful bank robbery crew, who as the outlaws plan a seemingly impossible heist on the Federal Reserve Bank of downtown Los Angeles.

Speaking about the film Gerard Butler said, "What I love about this movie is that it has a taste, an ingredient, of many of my favorite films, like Heist and Heat, with touches of a Dog Day Afternoon and The French Connection. But it stands entirely on its own. It may be a complex heist film, but there’s a surprising amount of heart and emotion. It has the potential to become one of those unforgettable movies because of the characters we’ve created.”

Director Christian Gudegast reunites with Gerard Butler after 'London Has Fallen' which Gudegast wrote the screenplay for. With 'Den of Thieves', he makes his features directorial debut and of course brought back Butler to lead his film's cast.

In addition to Butler and Jackson, the film also stars Jordan Bridges, Pablo Scheriber (Orange is the New Black fame), O'Shea Jackson Jr among others.

Den Of Thieves starring Gerard Butler, Curtis Jackson all set to release pan India on Feb 2.
