From director Michael Radford (THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, IL POSTINO) comes FLAWLESS, a clever diamond-heist thriller set in swinging 1960s London. Demi Moore plays Laura Quinn, a bright, driven and beautiful executive at the London Diamond Corporation who finds herself frustrated by a glass ceiling after years of faithful employment, as man after man is promoted ahead of her despite her greater experience. Michael Caine is Hobbs, the nighttime janitor at London Diamond who is virtually invisible to the executives that work there, but over the years has amassed a startling amount of knowledge about how the company runs. Hobbs has his own bone to pick with London Diamond. Observing Laura’s frustration, he convinces her to help him execute an ingenious plan to steal a hefty sum in diamonds. But unbeknownst to Laura, Hobbs plans go even farther than he’s let on, and together they set in motion a thrilling heist of dizzying proportions, the likes of which London has never seen.

On behalf of Lionsgate, we are pleased to present the official trailer & poster for THE BANK JOB, starring Jason Statham. Inspired by an extraordinary true event, THE BANK JOB is a highly-charged thriller filled with intrigue, danger and scandal in early ‘70s London.
In September 1971, thieves tunneled into the vault of a bank in London’s Baker Street and looted safe deposit boxes of cash and jewelry worth millions and millions of pounds. None of it was recovered. Nobody was ever arrested. The robbery made headlines for a few days and then suddenly disappeared - the result of a UK Government ‘D’ Notice, gagging the press. This film reveals what was hidden in those boxes, involving murder, corruption and a sex scandal with links to the Royal Family - a story in which the thieves were the most innocent people involved.
THE BANK JOB stars Jason Statham (WAR, CRANK, THE ITALIAN JOB) as Terry, the car dealer with a dodgy past and Saffron Burrows (KLIMT, ENIGMA) as Martine, the successful model from his old neighborhood who inveigles her old flame and his friends into undertaking the bank robbery. The film was written by Dick Clement & Ian La Frenais, directed by Roger Donaldson (NO WAY OUT, THIRTEEN DAYS, THE RECRUIT).
THE BANK JOB hits theaters March 7, 2008
