Chris Pine fans, listen up!

The actor is in negotiations with Paramount Pictures and Eagle Eye director D.J. Caruso to sign on for the production of The Art of Making Money.

According to Variety, Pine would play Art Williams, the alias for a Chicago man who rose from petty theft to become a master counterfeiter.

The movie is based on the 2005 Rolling Stone article by Jason Kersten, who turned his reporting into the book “The Art of Making Money: The Story of a Master Counterfeiter.”

Caruso has recently worked with Shia LaBeouf on box office hits Eagle Eye and Disturbia. Guess he’s over him…or just wants some hot, fresh meat!

Are you excited to see Chris Pine back on the big screen?
