Gambit

Gambit

Colin Firth is back on the big screen this week as he teams up with Cameron Diaz and Alan Rickman in the remake of Gambit.

It was back in 1966 when the movie hit the big screen for the first time starring Michael Caine and Shirley McClane and not the con is back on.

And we have some great new clips from the movie for you to enjoy:

Michael Hoffman is in the director's chair for the movie in what is his first film since The Last Station and he has been behind films such as A Midsummer Night's Dream and One Fine Day.

He has teamed up with Ethan and Joel Coen who have penned the script for the movie - that is a bit of a treat as penning witty scripts seems to be their forte.

Oscar winning Firth takes on the role of Harry Deane this time around while the likes of Tom Courtenay and Stanley Tucci are also on the cast list.

It is great to see Firth back tackling comedy once again after the likes of The King's Speech and Tinker Tailor Solider Spy.

Private art curator Harry Deane (Firth) devises a finely-crafted scheme to con England's richest man and avid art collector, Lionel Shabandar, (Rickman) into purchasing a fake Monet painting.

In order to bait his buyer, he recruits a Texas rodeo queen (Diaz) to cross the pond and pose as a woman whose grandfather liberated the painting at the end of WWII.

Autumn and winter on the big screen looks set to be full of big budget blockbusters and Oscar contenders so if you are looking for some light relieve than Gambit promises to be a lot of fun.

Gambit is released 21st November
