Director Choi Dong-hoon's new movie "The Thieves" (working title) will feature top actors and actresses including Kim Hye-soo, Kim Yoon-suk, Lee Jung-jae, Jun Ji-hyun and rising star Kim Soo-hyun.

The movie is a crime thriller revolving around a legendary diamond "Tear of Sun" hidden in a casino in Macau and a group of thieves trying to steal it.

Kim Yoon-suk will play the role of Macau Park, who comes up with the whole scheme, while Kim Hye-soo plays a safecracker.

Veteran actress Kim Hae-sook and funnyman Oh Dal-soo also join the production of so-called Korean "Ocean's Eleven" (2001).

Choi, the director of "Tazza: The High Rollers" and "Woochi," said these actors inspired him when he wrote the script.

The movie will start filming in May.
