To Catch a Thief: Eileen Jones to Write Remake Starring Gal Gadot

According to Deadline, Eileen Jones (Prodigal Son, Highwayman, Lethal Weapon) is in talks to pen the remake of the classic 1955 mystery thriller To Catch a Thief with Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman, Red Notice, Death on the Nile) attached to star in the Paramount Pictures project.

Plot details on the remake have not yet been released. The original Paramount feature was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and written by John Michael Hayes, based on the novel by David Dodge.

The film starred Cary Grant and Grace Kelly and won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography in 1956. The story followed a retired jewel thief who sets out to prove his innocence after being suspected of returning to his former occupation.

Gadot will produce the remake of To Catch a Thief with her partner Jason Varsano via their Pilot Wave production company. Neal Moritz will also produce through his Original Film banner.
