Queen and Katie pair up for heist flick

Katie Holmes is to star alongside Queen Latifah in a new heist film called Mad Movie.

The film features a trio of female Federal Reserve employees who attempt to steal money set to be destroyed.

Diane Keaton, known for her iconic work with Woody Allen in the seventies and with Jack Nicholson more recently, rounds up the thieving threesome.

Based on hit UK TV show Hot Money, the movie is slated for a 2008 release and will be directed Callie Khouri.

Film-fans may recognise Khouri as the director of Divine Secrets Of The Ya-Ya Sisterhood, which featured Sandra Bullock, Ellen Burstyn, James Garner, Ashley Judd and Minerva McGonagall herself – Maggie Smith.

Queen Latifah can also be seen in Hairspray, which is due to hit theatres later in the year.

This musical comedy will also star John Travolta, Amanda Bynes, Christopher Walken Michelle Pfeiffer and Brittany Snow.
