Now this is brilliant news to wake up to – especially since it is RPAU’s 8th Anniversary.  We posted here and here that Oliver Asayas might be resurrecting the film and from AFM Screen Daily reports:

Lotus Entertainment has launched sales here on Idol’s Eye, Olivier Assayas’ cherished heist thriller that will now star Sylvester Stallone as Chicago mob boss Tony Accardo.
Stallone replaces Robert De Niro and takes his place alongside Robert Pattinson and Rachel Weisz on the $25m project, which has been reassembled and is ready to shoot in Toronto in February after ï¬nancing fell through in late 2014.
Lotus came on board to ï¬nance and sell international rights after Toronto International Film Festival. WME Global assembled the revised package and represents US rights.

Oh wow, what brilliant news to wake up to!!! Truth Maria, what awesome timing! 🙂
Much as I was really looking forward to Rob working with Robert De Niro, I’m just happy it’s going ahead. Fingers crossed it’s smooth sailing from now on.
Me too @Sue me too – Sly’s okay in my books
Oh wow! I never imagined Rob and Sly would be on the same project. Its a bit mind blowing. He’s not Bob but I’m pretty damn happy about this casting.
