Bohemian Rhapsody star joins Anne Hathaway's heist comedy

From Digital Spy

Bohemian Rhapsody's Lucy Boynton is officially part of an all-star cast in director Doug Liman's upcoming heist film.

Written by Peaky Blinders creator Stephen Knight, this movie places Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor in the shoes of two romantically-involved thieves who attempt a jewellery heist at London's iconic department store Harrods.

Set during the coronavirus pandemic, it's fittingly titled Lockdown.
