Theo James, a thief? Maybe so, in the upcoming romantic thriller ‘Lying and Stealing’

Theo James poses for fans at the Allegiant Black Carpet March 2016

Theo James is slated to star alongside Emily Ratajkowski in Lying and Stealing, a romantic thriller directed by Matt Aselton and set to come out sometime in 2017 from IM Global. Below is a synopsis of the film from Ace Showbiz:

Ivan (Theo James) is a gifted and discerning art thief, whose specialty is infiltrating and stealing from Los Angeles’ highest end collectors. It’s a dirty, complex business, and business is good — yet Ivan wants out. Elyse (Emily Ratajkowski) is an aspiring actress whose own past transgressions in Hollywood haunt her, as well as a mountain of debt.

These two outsiders are drawn to each other, and as brilliant con artists in their own right, team up for one last, big daring heist. Part Thomas Crowne Affair, part Out of Sight, these two characters ride the razors edge of the high-end LA universe, playing their own shell game against the establishment, and finding each other in the process. With money, incarceration, and lives on the line, their escapade tests their explosive love story and loyalty.

I’m excited for this movie because it reminds me of one of my favorite novels from way back when: Sweet Revenge by Nora Roberts. Having Theo in it just sweetens the pot for me.

There isn’t much information out about this yet, but please stay tuned to TheTheologians.net. We will report developments as they arise!
