LONDON -- Protagonist Pictures has acquired international rights to British helmer Jonathan Lynn's laffer "Wild Target."

Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint and Rupert Everett all star in the project, about a beautiful con artist who finds herself pursued by a top assassin after scamming a gangster.

Pic is a remake of Gallic helmer Pierre Salvadori's "Cible emouvante."

Martin Pope and Michael Rose of Magic Light Pictures are producing, with Lucinda Coxon penning the script.

Cinetic is handling sales of the North American rights.
