(UTV|COLOMBO) – Actors Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson starrer ‘The Hustle’ will hit the big screens on May 17 this year.
Indian film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the release date along with a poster of the film. The poster features the two leading ladies dressed in black outfits, standing in the backdrop of a golden car.
The film’s tagline on the poster reads, “They’re giving dirty rotten men a run for their money.”
Adarsh wrote, “Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson… #TheHustle release date finalized 17 May 2019… Remake of #DirtyRottenScoundrels.”
The film is a remake of Frank Oz’s 1988 comedy ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’, which starred Steve Martin, Michael Caine, and the late Glenne Headly. The American comedy film, which is directed by Chris Addison and written by Jac Schaeffer, is based on two women con artists who team up to take down the dirty rotten men who have wronged them, reported The Hollywood Reporter.
The film was previously titled ‘Nasty Women’.
The film also features Alex Sharp, Timothy Blake Nelson, Ingrid Oliver and Emma Davies in pivotal roles.
Apart from ‘The Hustle’, Hathaway will appear in ‘The Last Thing He Wanted’, directed by Dee Rees and in a live-action film adaptation of the Barbie film series.
