According to The Hollywood Reporter the new movie will follow a group of thieves who try to bring hope to those living in a dystopian London.
There is no talk of cast at this time but Nicolai Fuglsig will direct the project with Jason Hall on board to pen the script.
Ridley Scott's interpretation of the same story will be released next year.

It's a movie that has been plagued with trouble after Sin City filmmaker Robert Rodriguez left the project and Robert Liketic has taken over the role of director.
There is no release date yet for the film and producer Dino De Laurentiis is currently looking for a studio to back the movie.
- A fourth Mission Impossible movie is well and truly going ahead as J.J. Abrams and his leading man Tom Cruise have brought on two writers to pen the script for the film.

- More casting news an Liam Neeson looks almost set to star in Unknown White Male, based on the Didier Van Cauwelaert novel.
