“Midnight in Paris” star Owen Wilson joins Jim Carrey in heist comedy

Fresh from The Internship, Owen Wilson is joining Jim Carrey to star in Relativity’s Untitled Action Comedy directed by Napoleon Dynamite helmer Jared Hess, Deadline said.

Based on an original screenplay by Emily Spivey, this comedy — it got known around town for the title Loomis Fargo, but that’s being changed — has a script by Chris Bowman (The Wrong Brother) and Hubbel Palmer (Humble Pie). Relativity has worldwide rights to finance, produce and distribute, and the film will be produced by Lorne Michaels and John Goldwyn through their Michaels-Goldwyn banner.

Pic tells the fact-based story of a disgruntled armored car driver who is persuaded to risk it all for love, money, and extravagance. He and his cohorts liberate $20 million from a bank vault. They promptly double cross him, and as the driver’s left alone on the run in Mexico while they live the high life, he becomes obsessed with getting even.

Wilson recently completed the Wes Anderson-directed Grand Budapest Hotel and is currently in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice. Relativity next releases the espionage thriller Paranoia on August 16, followed by the Scott Cooper-directed Out Of The Furnace on October 4, the Joseph Gordon-Levitt-directed Don Jon on October 18, and the Jimmy Hayward-directed animated buddy comedy Free Birds on November 1.
