Gambit is a 2012 heist comedy film directed by Michael Hoffman from a screenplay by Joel and Ethan Coen, starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz, Alan Rickman, Tom Courtenay and Stanley Tucci. It is a remake of the 1966 film starring Shirley MacLaine and Michael Caine.

Production

A remake of Gambit had been mooted for several years. Producer Mike Lobell saw the original film at its London premiere in 1966, and in 1997, Lobell, who was then working at Universal, was looking for a film to remake; he suggested Gambit and Universal approved it.

Initially, Alexander Payne was in talks to direct it, reuniting with Election star Reese Witherspoon, but was reluctant to work on a script he did not write. Witherspoon was willing to remain on the project, but only if Lobell could get Mike Nichols or Robert Altman to direct. After the success of Gosford Park (2001), Altman was keen to make another film in the United Kingdom, especially as Witherspoon was attached.

In March 2004, Jennifer Aniston was announced as the female lead alongside Ben Kingsley, with Bo Welch directing. After the commercial failure of Welch's 2003 live-action adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Cat in the Hat, Universal lost faith in the project and put it into turnaround. Outside of the studio system, Lobell moved between different financiers in a bid to get the project moving.

The script was well known around Hollywood, and in 2009, Lobell took a call from Roeg Sutherland at CAA. Sutherland knew of a fledgling production company, Crime Scene Pictures, with equity financing from Southeast Asia, who were looking for a marquee project for their new company and felt that Gambit would fit the bill. In 2010, Doug Liman was reportedly considering directing the film.

In an interview in September 2008, Colin Firth denied being involved in the remake. Nevertheless, it was confirmed in February 2011 that Firth and Cameron Diaz had been cast in the lead roles. Alan Rickman was added to the cast the following month, with Stanley Tucci and Cloris Leachman joining in May.
