Jake Gyllenhaal has signed on to star in and produce Cut & Run, a film about thieves that use high-powered speedboats to rob superyachts. Plans go awry, however, when the thieves “steal the wrong thing from the wrong group of people,” per the project’s logline.

New Republic Pictures has won the right to the movie’s spec script, which was written by John Glenn, in a bidding war. Glenn penned the script for the Eagle Eye (2008) and Clash of the Titans (2010), among other action and thriller films.

Gyllenhaal will also be producing through his own company, Nine Stories Productions. Alongside him, New Republic founder Brian Oliver and president Bradley Fischer will also produce.

New Republic signed a first-look deal with Nine Stories last year. The studios worked together on Michael Bay’s Ambulance, slated for release in theaters this April. They are currently working on an adaptation of Oblivion Song, a dystopian feature based on Robert Kirkman and Lorenzo De Felici’s graphic novel of the same name, in which Gyllenhaal will star.

In other entertainment news, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 is set to hit North American theaters on March 18.
