Jason Sudeikis to star in robbery comedy

Actor Jason Sudeikis is reportedly in talks to join Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson and Kristen Wiig for a true-story inspired robbery drama.

'Napoleon Dynamite' helmer Jared Hess is directing the comedy, which is slated to release on August 14, 2015.

The project is based on the true story of four dim-witted Southerners who pulled off one of the biggest heists in American history, robbing almost USD 20 million from a Loomis Fargo armored truck, said the Hollywood Reporter.

Sudeikis will play a hitman in the movie.
