EDDIE IZZARD - DRIVER AND IZZARD TO REPRISE RICHES ROLES

DRIVER AND IZZARD TO REPRISE RICHES ROLES

EDDIE IZZARD and MINNIE DRIVER are set to star in a big screen version of their cancelled U.S. TV show THE RICHES.
The drama series, about a family of con artists, won critical acclaim and a raft of awards - before being scrapped after its second season due to flagging ratings.
But comedian Izzard has now revealed he is in talks to make a film version of the show - which will be independently financed.
He says, "We've had the meeting and the writers are going to go off and slam out a story. We're going to raise money like (U.S. President-elect) Barack Obama through the internet, and we're going to shoot it guerilla-style."
