CBS Films has done a bit of release date shuffling for two of their upcoming releases. First up, director Michael Hoffman’s remake of the 1966 caper comedy Gambit has been moved up from January 11th, 2013 to October 12th of this year (per Box Office Mojo). Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth star as partners in a con to sell a fake Monet painting, and the film has a script by Joel and Ethan Coen. Given the caliber of talent involved, the January date was always a bit of a puzzler. The film will now square off against Ben Affleck’s stellar looking period thriller Argo and the Kevin James “comedy” Here Comes the Boom.
CBS Films has certainly seen a cut of Gambit by now, and one has to wonder if they think they’ve got a shot at the awards season race. The cast is certainly exciting, with Alan Rickman, Stanley Tucci, Tom Courtenay and Cloris Leachman rounding out the supporting roles, so the fact that we’ll get to catch the film earlier than previously planned is definitely good news.
