added: Thu, May 16th '19

A skilled L.A. art thief and a beautiful aspiring Hollywood actress join forces to pull off a heist in the official trailer for the stylish con-artist caper "Lying and Stealing," which stars "Divergent" actor Theo James and model-turned-actress Emily Rartajkowski (Gone Girl, I Feel Pretty).

Co-starring Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Punisher, Girls), Fred Melamed (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Lady Dynamite), and Isiah Whitlock Jr. (The Wire, BlacKkKlansman), the crime film follows Ivan (James), a professional crook who has carved out a career sneaking into swanky L.A. cocktail parties to steal priceless artwork from the rich.

To pay off an old debt, Ivan must perpetrate a major heist. He soon teams up with a gorgeous amateur con woman (Rartajkowski). But things get complicated when Ivan discovers he's being pursued by the FBI.

From director and co-writer Matt Aselton and co-writer Adam Nagata, the team behind the indie rom-com "Gigantic," "Lying and Stealing" is being released exclusively on DirecTV on June 13th and will then arrive in theaters and on VOD July 12th.
