The Italian
Job is the
latest feature film headed to television as NBC is planning an Italian
Job TV series, based on the 1969 heist classic and its subsequent 2003
remake. Scripted by Troy Kennedy
Martin, the original Italian Job was a Paramount Pictures release
directed by Peter Collinson. It
stars Michael Caine as Charlie
Croker, an expert thief who pulls together a team to heist four million dollars
of gold in the Italian Alps.
The remake, directed by F. Gary Gray, features Mark
Wahlberg as the Croker character, but the plot follows a different
progression and the story’s action is moved from Italy to Los
Angeles. The remake does, however, make use of the original film’s
signature getaway car: the Mini Cooper.
According to
report, the Italian Job TV show will shift the plot a bit and,
instead of heisting gold as the previous films have done, the heist will
center around a team coming together to rescue an older teammate to whom they
all owe a debt.
Benjamin Brand and Rob Weiss are attached to script The Italian Job TV
series. They’ll also executive produce alongside Donald De Line under the Paramount Television banner.
