An upcoming romantic comedy-drama film will be hitting the Cinemas in February 2015!

Movie entitled Focus is directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa from a script they co-wrote.

Reports has said that this film had several casting changes before it finally got set into production. The original plan was to give the leading roles to and showcase the pairing of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone who had worked together on Crazy, Stupid, Love movie. But Gosling dropped out and the role was then offered to Brad Pitt but he declined and Ben Affleck, who dropped out because of conflicts on schedules.

Kristen Stewart was also cast to star in the film but later dropped out because of age difference between her and Will Smith.

Putting that aside, the movie will now be starred by actor Will Smith (Men In Black, I Am Legend) as Nicky, actress Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, About Time) as Jess Barrett, and Rodrigo Santoro as Gárriga. The film will follow as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess. As he's teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame-now an accomplished femme fatale-shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high-stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky's latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop... and the consummate con man off his game.

The filming officially began on September 12, 2013 in New Orleans, and moved over to Buenos Aires on November 17, 2013 for three weeks. The last day of shooting in Argentina was on December 10 and wrapped in New York City on December 17, 2013.

Focus has an initial release date of February 26, 2015 on Netherlands and February 27, 2015 for international version.
