Edited to noted that there is a 2nd article on this and www.eveningtimes.co.uk/news/15046602.Paisley_actor_Gerard_Butler_poses_with_50_Cent_for_movie_bootcamp/ it had an error in it regarding the storyline - it said "The unlikely duo star in the thriller slated for 2018. Based on Pulitzer prize-winning book by writer James B. Stewart, it follows the lives of a gang who plan a bank heist in Los Angeles."

The movie Den of Theives by James B. Stewart is about Wall Street www.simonandschuster.com/books/Den-of-Thieves/James-B-Stewart/9780671792275 fact checking is definitely becoming a problem

Interesting that we are seeing mostly TV actors cast in this movie and I found the description of the movie interesting because I don't remember seeing anything about this being based on true events??

Official announcement on the start of filming for Den of Thieves -   GOOD LUCK GERRY!!

ATLANTA, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Filming commenced today on "Den of Thieves," a bold action thriller in the tradition of "Heat" and "The Town". Every day, $120 million in cash is taken out of circulation and destroyed by the Federal Reserve. An elite crew of bank robbers sets out to pull off the ultimate heist and get to the money first, right under the noses of Los Angeles' most feared division of law enforcement.

"Den of Thieves" represents the directorial debut of Christian Gudegast ("London Has Fallen", "A Man Apart") who is helming from his original screenplay based on a story by Gudegast and Paul Scheuring ("Prison Break: The Final Break", "A Man Apart"). Producing are Mark Canton ("300", "300: Rise of an Empire", "Immortals"), Tucker Tooley ("We're The Millers", "The Fighter"), Gerard Butler ("Olympus Has Fallen", "How to Train Your Dragon", "300") and Alan Siegel ("London Has Fallen", "Olympus Has Fallen"), long-time partners in their production company, G-BASE.

'Den of Thieves' is a gritty action thriller with broad commercial appeal, and our cast blends perfectly into a world where good and bad often intertwine. STX Entertainment is the perfect partner to bring this modern-day heist story to the big screen."

Executive producing "Den of Thieves" are Scott Lumpkin ("The Foreigner", "The Best of Me", "Safe Haven"), Jamie Marshall ("The Foreigner", "Southpaw", "Olympus Has Fallen") and Glenn D. Feig ("The Nice Guys", "Don Jon").
