Rebel Wilson has shared a sneaky look at her current film project: a remake of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels in which Wilson produces and stars alongside Anne Hathaway.

Sharing a behind the scenes snap on Instagram, Rebel said: "Just started work on my new movie I'm producing too! You may have heard of the legendary Dirty Rotten Scoundrels – well, this is a remake of that remake."

Wilson and Hathaway star in the gender-flipped reboot, which is directed by Chris Addison, best known for starring in BBC Two's political drama The Thick Of It and as a regular on topical panel show Mock the Week.

He's directed a number of episode of HBO's Veep before, but this is his first feature film in the director's chair.

The original Dirty Rotten Scoundrels starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine, and was itself a remake of Marlon Brando's 1964 movie Bedtime Story.

In her post, Wilson said that the project's title was a secret, but its previously been reported as Nasty Women. That could change, of course, as production on the film has only just started.

"We're keeping the title secret for now," she said. "We're keeping the updates secret. But for now here's a sneaky sneak peak of Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway, Tony Award winner @alexanderiansharp1 and '2nd in the state in Food Technology' winner (me) tearing up the European dance floor."

Alex Sharp, who starred in the west-end production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, is appearing alongside Wilson and Hathaway, and recently posted a picture of himself and Wilson hanging out on set.

The film will follow Wilson and Hathaway as con artists competing against one another with the aim of swindling money out of a tech prodigy.
