Previously known as 'Bone Deep', the Screen Gems film is a crime thriller being directed by John Luessenhop and starring Brown, T.I, Idris Elba, Paul Walker, Michael Ealy, Hayden Christensen, Zoe Saldana, Jay Hernandez.

The film revolves around a group of criminals who find their $20 million plan interrupted by a hard-boiled detective (Dillon). Walker stars as the leader of the bank robbers. Christensen is a newbie detective.

Despite recent troubles with Brown and T.I, the film is still scheduled to be released in 2010.

According to the NY Daily News, Brown, who was arrested two weeks ago on suspicion of criminal threats against his girlfriend, Rihanna, attended his first Anger Management class in Glendale, Calif., this week.

Next month, after completing 1,000 hours of community service, T.I. is scheduled to serve a year in jail for a 2008 federal firearms conviction.
