Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas will make a team for "The Code," a crime thriller that Mimi Leder is directing for Nu Image/Millennium.

The movie will start shooting this week at Nu Boyana Film Studios, a 45-year-old production facility in Sofia, Bulgaria, acquired in 2006 by Nu Image Bulgaria. Producers are Boaz Davidson, Danny Lerner, Les Weldon, Lori McCreary (Freeman's partner in Revelations Entertainment) and Randall Emmett; with First Look Holdings principals Avi Lerner, Henry Winterstern, Danny Dimbort and Trevor Short exec producing.

Ted Humphrey has written the script, based on a story by Ruben Leder. Freeman will portray a veteran thief who recruits a younger crook, played by Banderas, to help him pull off one final job in order to repay his debt to the Russian mob.

Morgan Freeman next will be seen in Ben Affleck's "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Bucket List" with Jack Nicholson.
