If the deal goes through, the project will mark a reunion between Ruffalo and Chris Hemsworth, who is in negotiations for the lead role, reported entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter.
'Crime 101' is based on a novella by American writer Don Winslow and will be directed by Bart Layton, best known for directing 2018 movie 'American Animals'.
Though the plot details have been kept under wraps, the film is said to be in the same vein as Michael Mann's 1995 movie 'Heat', starring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.
Winslow's novella, which was published in 2021, centered on detective Lou Lubesnick as he attempts to solve a string of jewel heists by tracking the perpetrator who follows a strict set of rules known as 'Crime 101'.

Ruffalo and Hemsworth previously starred together in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, in which they played superheroes The Hulk and Thor, respectively.

A zombie Haley candidacy continued to punch above its weight in the Trumpiest of states: The former South Carolina governor is on track to break 20 percent for the first time since she dropped out of the race two months ago. Outside of the presidential race, it was the p...
