Having proven himself a capable thief in The Town, Jeremy Renner is attached to once again rob some crap in King of Heists, Black Bear Pictures' adaptation of J. North Conway's non-fiction book of the same name. Renner will play George Leonidas Leslie, one of the U.S. history's greatest robbers, responsible for numerous high-dollar heists in the latter half of the 19th century. First, though, Renner has parts in The Avengers, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, The Bourne Legacy, Ice Age: Continental Drift, and potentially a Steve McQueen biopic, so get used to seeing that troll doll face pretty much everywhere. Over the next couple years, you're going to be seeing more of Renner than your own grandma. Not that Grandma would mind if you changed that. Why don't you visit Grandma???
