I hope to God that Cameron is not doing this film with him. I doubt Gerry would be on board for her to be in it since they had a little thing going on awhile back.
There are so many other actresses to choose from. Cameron is too distracting in her roles. Kate Beckinsale or someone like that.
I am looking forward to this one. I am glad some fans will get to see him and let us know about it too!

I don't mind Cameron that much.... I think I would be pretty much OK with any actress in her 30ies or 40ies who is not Jennifer Aniston.
Regarding the rumors.. Maybe somebody married would be good, like Amy Adams. I think she and Gerry would be cute together.
It's produced by Lakeshore Entertainment. I wonder who is going to distribute... Sony maybe? I hope so, they promote their movies well. Wonder if Relativity is a player as well. They were with TUT... That's OK as long as they are not the only player.... It's going to take me a while to trust them again.

Dianne, Kally is not my name although I think it is a great name. My screen name was Kaly it just naturally seemed to need another "l". In my house my Gerry obsession has to be kept deeply undercover or my life would be miserable;however, it is just as passionate. I actually got weak in the knees when I heard that he might be coming within reach. Better not get too close or I would probably pass out. ~ Kally (I think this version is better.)

Gerard Butler Thinks Stealing Diamonds Is a 'Brilliant' Idea By Max Evry | Mar 1, 2012 | 10:43 AM | Comments After narrowly averting a surf-tastrophie in December and recently checking into rehab, things are finally looking up for mighty Spartan Gerard Butler as he replaces The Hulk in a movie… kinda. Variety is reporting that Butler will step in for Eric Bana as he boards diamond-heist thriller "Brilliant," which is being helmed by Robert Luketic after the two of them had a beautiful time on the set of "The Ugly Truth." Freshman screenwriter Gillian Gorfil's story chronicles "a small-time criminal who partners with a female thief to pull off a daring diamond heist." Wait, are they thinking Katherine Heigl again? Luketic recently directed a pair of Heigl films, "Ugly Truth" and the misbegotten "Killers," so it stands to reason the actress would at least be in-the-running. Cameron Diaz was originally set to co-star but it appears she jumped ship, possibly in fear that Scotsman Butler's kilts might upstage whatever skirt she wore in the film. "Brilliant" will helm in Boston this May, which means the "300" star having a barroom brawl or two with some Irishmen is not out of the question. The actor also has surfing epic "Of Men and Mavericks" and soccer comedy "Playing the Field" in the can awaiting release. Meanwhile we all wait patiently to see if Butler will reprise his battle-hungry King Leonidas in upcoming prequel "300: Battle of Artemi www.nextmovie.com/blog/gerard-butler-brilliant/Looks like Cameron was attached and now out? I thought that Cameron and Gerry were actually meeting to discuss him being in Night and Day the one she did with Cruise and it was spinned by the gossip columnists that they had a thing, much like the Lindsay Lohan rumours. I think Lindsay and Gerry have mutual friends and that's it.

I know this is probably just a coincidence, since another director is listed (B.Levinson) but I think it would be a great pair... Scarlet Johannson and she is friends with Gerry www.rottentomatoes.com/m/brilliant/

Thanks Solo Absolutely BRILLIANT Casting Tidbit March 1st, 2012 at 10:54 am by Sheri Absolutely BRILLIANT Casting Tidbit Gerard Butler, continuing to thumb his nose at critics following his self-imposed stint in rehab, has just bagged another big role. Butler is set to reunite with his The Ugly Truth director, Robert Luketic, for caper film, Brilliant. Written by Gillian Gorfil (producer of Blood Diamond) and Elizabeth Shorten, the plot of Brilliant, per Variety, centers on a small time criminal who teams with a female thief to pull off the biggest diamond heist of all time. (When Eric Bana was attached, the plot was a tad different: small-time criminal becomes the protege of some of the world’s most accomplished thieves as they prepare the biggest diamond heist of all time.) Butler will step into the role that had been Bana’s, but it’s unclear exactly what the part is and other casting is still to be completed. Producers Gary Lucchesi, Tom Rosenberg and Sidney Kimmel are hoping to find their “female thief” in time for production to begin in Boston in May. Let me reiterate: “production..in Boston…in May”. Did I mention I live in Boston? I’ve been doing the *demented poodle dance* (patent pending) since I heard this news. (Trust me, I’m exhausted!) It will be very difficult to stick to my “no stalking rule” if this does, in fact, come to pass. I’ve got my doubts about this one, I must admit. Either Luketic is going back to drama after 2008’s 21 (which would be welcome) or this is a thinly disguised rom-com which may end up being TUT2 or The Return of the Bounty Hunter (and as much as I can justify my love for the originals, no one is clamoring for more of either. And if they cast Heigl, there will be an audible outcry and not just from the fangirls.) In any case, our boy is going to be very busy indeed. He’s also got Hunter Killer on the books for this year, supposedly to be filmed in Alaska, as well as Thunder Run which is supposed to start filming in Baton Rouge in May. Keeping busy is what Butler does best and there will certainly be a bevy of Alaskan and Beantown beauties with his name on them (not to mention a return to the scene so to speak when he’s in Louisiana, since he filmed Playing the Field in Shreveport last year.), but the logistics of all of this woul d make an astrophysicist’s head spin. Enough shop talk. This is a good excuse to post more pics, am I right? www.ineedmyfix.com/2012/03/01/absolutely-brilliant-casting-tidbit/

Please bear in mind that what I'm posting is taken from an interview with one of the screenwriters dated 2007 and things have obviously changed since then (ie the film wasn't made back then). The premise she talks about may also have changed in the interim (as well as the casting). It's a long article mainly talking about 'Blood Diamond' (as Gillian Gorfil was the producer of that film), so I'm pasting the relevant bits. www.writingstudio.co.za/page1497.htmlWill you do it again? Future projects?
I certainly hope so. I'm actually busy working on my next project as we speak. I wanted to have a writing credit and well as a producing credit on the next film that I do and thankfully that is what has happened. I developed an original story with a friend of mine, Nick Lorentz, and then my sister Elizabeth Shorten and I wrote the script. It's called 'Brilliant'. It's is completely different from Blood Diamond. It's a fun big summer movie, a "Thomas Crown Affair''. I've always loved that genre. Give me James Bond and box of popcorn any day. I grew up on Bond. Scarlett Johansson is attached to star in the move and John Amiel (Entrapment) will direct. We are in the process of casting the two male leads. We shoot in Europe in May.
Future projects?
I co wrote "Brilliant" with my sister, Elizabeth Shorten. The screenplay has been bought by Nu Image in Los Angeles and Scarlett Johansson is attached. We begin shooting in Bulgaria in May.

So, rotten tomatoes's casting of Scarlet Johansson did have some truth, at least at that time. For now, imdb added Brilliant to Gerry's page, only Gerry credited for now. www.imdb.com/title/tt1861288/

Scarlett is now attached to a remake of Psycho so she's probably out of the pool to choose from.
How abut Rachel Weisz?
