Chiara D’Ambrosio (The Bay, Fear of Rain) has been added to the cast of Bandit, an indie crime thriller starring Mel Gibson, Elisha Cuthbert, and Josh Duhamel. Allan Ungar is directing the film, which is based on the infamous bank and jewelry robber Gilbert Galvan Jr, who also went by the pseudonym Robert Whiteman and became known as the “Flying Bandit” during his three-year crime spree.
The film, written by Kraig Wenman, follows a career criminal (Duhamel) who escapes from a U.S. prison to Canada where he assumes a new identity and life working as a traveling security consultant, while his crime ways continue. After approaching lifetime gangster Tommy (Gibson) for an investment, Galvan gets embroiled in the biggest heist in Canadian history, which puts him at the center of a manhunt.
