Overture Films buys untitled heist pitch from writer Richard Wenk:

Richard Wenk has sold a twist-laden untitled heist pitch to Overture Films.

State Street Pictures, the shingle run by director-producer George Tillman Jr. (“Notorious”), brought the pitch to Overture, where it has a production deal. Tillman and Robert Teitel from State Street are producing with Richard Arlook, who manages Wenk. Matt Pritzker is executive producing and Rene Rigal is overseeing for State Street.

Wenk is repped by the Gersh Agency and the Arlook group.
