‘Crime 101’ Rounds Out Cast With Jennifer Jason Leigh, Nick Nolte, Tate Donovan, Babak Tafti and More (EXCLUSIVE)

Amazon Studios’ feature film “Crime 101” is rounding out its cast.

Jennifer Jason Leigh (“Hateful Eight,” “Fargo”), Nick Nolte (“Warrior,” “Graves”), Tate Donovan (“The Holdovers,” “Ghosted”), Babak Tafti (“Billions,” “Superpumped”), Payman Maadi (“The Night Of,” “The Opponent”), Deborah Hedwall (“Mare of Easttown,” “Homeland”), Devon Bostick (“Oppenheimer,” “Fargo”), Paul Adelstein (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “Agatha All Along”), Drew Powell (“Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story,” “Unbreakable Boy”) and Matthew Del Negro (“Mayor of Kingstown,” “City on a Hill”) have boarded the upcoming crime thriller, which will be released in theaters.

They join previously announced cast members Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins and Halle Berry. Bart Layton (“American Animals,” “The Imposter”) wrote the script, which is based on a novella by Don Winslow, and will direct.

Per the logline, Winslow’s original story follows a series of high level jewelry thefts up and down the Pacific Coast Highway that have gone unsolved for years, mostly because the perpetrator has lived by a strict code he calls ‘Crime 101.’ Police attribute the thefts to the Colombian cartels, but Detective Lou Lubesnick’s gut says it’s the work of just one man. Now the lone-wolf jewel thief is looking for that fabled final last score and Lou breaks all the rules of Crime 101.

Producers are Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner, The Story Factory’s Shane Salerno, RAW’s Bart Layton and Dimitri Doganis, Derrin Schlesinger and Wild State’s Hemsworth and Ben Grayson. RAW’s Joely Fether will executive produce.
