Variety reports that Paramount is mounting a remake of director Alfred Hitchcock's caper classic To Catch a Thief.

The project will be a contemporary retelling set in Miami; the 1955 original starring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly was set on the French Riviera.

Thief will be produced by Original Film's Neal Moritz (S.W.A.T., 2F2F). Todd Komarnicki (Elf) is scripting.

Variety says the "redo will leave the basic storyline from Hitchcock's film intact: A reformed jewel thief scrambles to clear his reputation while being framed for a series of elaborate robberies from the super-rich."
