Variety says Max Borenstein will write the thriller Art of the Steal for Warner Bros.
Zac Efron will star and produce the film with Jason Barrett, Kevin McCormick and David Klawans.
The movie, based on Joshuah Bearman’s Wired magazine article, centers on a con man who plans and executes a series of elaborate heists, all while leading a double life as an upstanding citizen.
Borenstein is also writing Warner Bros.’ adaptation of the spy drama The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
