Ooohh, this sounds quite good! How have I not read about this movie before! I can picture Alan and Colin playing off each other very nicely. :)

Sounds like they are taking really big liberties with the plot of the original Michael Caine/Shirley MacLaine movie, a great caper flick that I loved when I was a kid. The role of the collector in the original was pretty small, so I hope that they beefed it up a bit to give Alan more screentime.
