Last March, T.I. revealed the movie's title change from its original heading, Bone Deep.
"It's called Takers now," Tip told SOHH. "Well, you know there were mixed emotions about the title, Bone Deep. There were mixed reviews." (SOHH)
The decision to change the film's name reportedly came as a result of the original title's connotations.
The title itself, Bone Deep, has come under fire for it's sexual and pornographic connotations and will now officially change the name to Takers...not to be confused with the current hit action movie Taken. (Wooha)
The crime thriller will base its action around a large sum of money.
Takers is about 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. Written by Peter Allen and Gabriel Casseus, the film will be directed by John Luessenhop and arrive at theaters January 8, 2010. (IMDb)
