We wrote a story last year that Bad Robot productions that JJ Abrams’ owned production company secured rights to “The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist”? well now a year has passed and the studio has finally found a writer to script the movie. Heat Vision reports that Phil Alden Robinson, who wrote and directed Field of Dreams, co-wrote Sneakers, and last directed The Sum of All Fears, will script this untitled heist project for Bad Robot and Paramount.
