Drew Barrymore to Direct, Produce ‘Heist Society’

Drew Barrymore is set to enter Twilight territory. Which doesn’t mean she’s starring in an angsty vampire movie but rather that she’ll be directing and producing the big-screen adaptation of a young-adult novel: Heist Society.

The novel, by Ally Carter, tells the story of young woman who returns to a life of crime (i.e., thievery) in order to help bail her father out of an art-heist jam.

Barrymore will reportedly direct Heist Society — which will reunite her with Whip It (her last directorial outing) screenwriter Shauna Cross — after fulfilling her obligation to helm How to Be Single.
