Rebel Wilson to star in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels remake

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is the the next film that Hollywood are gender swapping for the remake.

The 1988 film was directed by Frank Oz and starred Michael Caine and Steve Martin. That was a remake of the 1964 Marlon Brando and David Niven film, Bedtime Story.

Rebel Wilson is set to star in the new version that will see two female scam artists, one low rent and the other high class, compete to swindle a naive tech prodigy out of his fortune.

Wilson is also producing the film alongside Roger Birnbaum (RoboCop, The Magnificent Seven). Wilson is also attached to a remake of the Goldie Hawn comedy Private Benjamin.

Jac Schaeffer wrote the screenplay.
