Written and directed by Glenn Ficara and John Requa (Crazy Stupid Love), the story has Smith as a veteran con man who enters into a romantic fling with a young novice, only to have her turn up years later just as he's planning a major heist in Buenos Aires. Santoro will play a powerful owner of an international race car team. [THR]

Starring Quvenzhane Wallis, Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz and Rose Byrne, Cannavale will play “a bulldog political advisor to Foxx’s character as he makes a mayoral run in New York.” Annie opens on Christmas Day 2014.
* Character actor Gregg Henry has taken to Twitter and revealed he has a role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, making this the third James Gunn-directed film he's been a part of after Slither and Super.
