It’s getting to the point where Gerard Butler signing on for a project should make us all wary, but the actor has boarded Lakeshore Entertainment’s diamond-heist thriller, Brilliant, taking over a role that was originally set for Eric Bana (but who has since moved on).

The movie reunites the actor with Robert Luketic, after they previously worked together on The Ugly Truth. Gillian Gorfil’s script for Brilliant follows a group of seasoned thieves who recruit a small-time criminal for a specialist job as they prepare for the biggest diamond heist of all time.

The movie is now busy trying to land a female lead before shooting starts this May in Boston.
