Plot details remain under wraps, but sources say the film will be released theatrically. Producers on How to Rob a Bank
include 87North’s Kelly McCormick and Leitch and Imagine’s Brian Grazer, Jeb Brody, and Allan Mandelbaum. Mark Bianculli has written the script and will serve as an executive producer. Although it is too early to say what Leitch’s blueprint looks like for How to Rob a Bank

and Bullet Train.
That said, this is not the only anticipated film Anna Sawai has been attached to in recent times.

Last year, when FX swept the Emmys stage
, one name was heard far and wide: Anna Sawai. And this year, through every buzzing corridor of the Hall of Fame, Sawai reigns supreme. While being attached to a David Leitch project is no small feat, the Shōgun
actress has also been announced as a part of (Saint) Peter,
a coming-of-age dramedy. She joined Pete Holmes, Judy Greer, and the lead, Christian Convery.
