Bill Condon (“Dreamgirls,” “Mr. Holmes”) assembles the dream pairing of Ian McKellen and Helen Mirren alongside the always stellar Russell Tovey in this grifter story based on the Nicholas Searle novel about a seasoned conman who finds himself growing to care for the wealthy widow he orchestrated his latest scheme against after picking her out as an easy mark online. At the same time, we explore their pasts and with nearly a century of secrets to uncover there’s a reckoning to be had. Famed playwright Jeffrey Hatcher penned the script with spunky go-getter Greg Yolen producing. Shot in London and Berlin, Warners is set to release the film in the Fall.
