J.J. Abrams To Produce Sci-Fi Heist Flick From 'Field Of Dreams' Writer/Director Phil Alden Robinson

J.J. Abrams is constantly busy with more projects than there are stars in the sky, so what's one more? Especially when that one more comes from "Sneakers" and "Field of Dreams" writer/director Phil Alden Robinson? The mega-producer, who is currently busy with his Steven Spielberg homage, "Super 8," has given Robinson the task of scripting a film based on the Wired magazine article "The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist," by Joshua Davis. There's no word on who will direct, but given Robinson's history, I would say he's a likely candidate. Certainly moreso than the perpetually busy Abrams. Check out the full story on The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog.
