Third time a charm for Boyle?

As previously reported, Michael Fassbender who was attached to play the movie’s second lead, Aiden, had to leave the thriller due to scheduling conflicts. Then Colin Firth was being sought for the role, but the actor turned down the part for unknown reasons.
Now, according to Twitch, an offer is out to Vincent Cassel (‘Black Swan’) to take the role.

Thing take an unexpected turn when Simon suffers a blow to the head and wakes up with amnesia. As he is the only one who knows the location of the stolen art, the other thieves in the gang become suspicious of him and bring in a hypnotist to search his mind.
