Italian job Mark II

Paramount Pictures is working on a sequel to the car-heist picture The Italian Job, which was a remake of a 1969 classic, reports the Daily Variety.

The sequel will be written and produced by the same team that produced last year's hit, but there was no report on whether stars Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron will rejoin the team.

The original movie starred Michael Caine in a scheme to steal US$4 million in gold by causing a huge traffic jam in Turin.
