Steve McQueen And Gillian Flynn Drama Widows Pegged For September Start

 

Steve McQueen and Gillian Flynn were poised to collaborate for new drama Widows, and while there’s been little signs of progress emerging from pre-production, we now have word of when the feature will step before cameras.

According to report, the female-led heist flick will enter production in September of this year. Based on the British television series of the same name McQueen’s latest will center around four widows who come together to finish a robbery after their crooked husbands are killed on the job
Setting up shop at New Regency, Widows spins out the original concept and thrusts it into a modern-day American setting, expanding the core cast to four leading ladies instead of three.

With McQueen reportedly eager to bring his own twist to the gangster genre, producer Brad Weston previously teased a contemporary, hard-hitting, very grounded gangster movie with four strong female characters.
