Charlize Theron is set to co-star with Daniel Craig in an upcoming heist movie from Apple that will be directed by Fast & Furious' Justin Lin.

In the film based on an original idea by Lin and his Fast X co-writer Dan Mazeau, Theron and Craig will play career thieves whose relationship spans the course of three big jobs. Pic is being developed by Lin’s Perfect Storm Entertainment, Theron’s Denver & Delilah banner, and Jeff Kirschebaum and Joe Roth’s RK Films, with Apple Studios serving as the studio.

Fast X is the unlikely starting point for Two for the Money. Lin and Mazeau came up with the idea for the project during their time on the 10th installment and then pitched Theron, who was part of the sprawling Fast cast. The actress fell for the story’s Cary Grant-Rosalind Russell snappy rapport vibe and suggested that Craig be her guy Friday.

Theron worked with Lin on "Fast X". Her credits include her Oscar-winning turn in "Monster", as well as her Academy Award-nominated roles in "Bombshell" and "North Country". She also starred in "Mad Max: Fury Road" and "Atomic Blonde". Craig appeared as James Bond in five films, ending his run with "No Time to Die". He also stars in the "Knives Out" franchise and is set to star in Luca Guadagnino's upcoming film, "Queer".

Two for the Money continues to build upon Apple’s high-profile, high-wattage film slate. The studio is in the awards conversation with Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, which is already garnering wins, and has Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, starring Joaquin Phoenix, in theaters as well. Next up is Matthew Vaughn’s star-jammed spy thriller Argylle. It is also in production on a Formula 1 feature starring Brad Pitt.
