The film, which began production Aug. 4 in New Orleans, also features Nick Nolte, Emma Booth, Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Michael Chiklis, Wendell Pierce and Clinton Collins, Jr.

The motion picture, adapted from the novel "Flashfire" by Donald Westlake, features a screenplay by John J. McLaughlin and concerns a "thief who, though at times is forced to be a killer, still lives by a code of honor that includes never stealing money from people who need it," according to the industry paper.

Taylor Hackford, who is among the film's producers, directs.

FilmDistrict will release the film domestically Oct. 12, 2012.
