Will Smith has bagged himself a leading lady for the upcoming con artist tale FOCUS, housed over at Warner Brothers. Margot Robbie, who will next be seen in THE WOLF OF WALL STREET opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, will play the female lead in the flick, which revolves around a romance between a ‘professional conman and someone just learning the criminal art and how their past relationship comes back into play when they meet up again years later.’ Robbie is also a graduate of the Aussie soap NEIGHBOURS, a show that also once starred the likes of Guy Pearce and Russell Crowe.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, who brought us the excellent CRAZY, STUPID LOVE, write and direct FOCUS, which kicks off shooting soon.
