Writers Join ’Jewel Thief’Writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (”The Commitments”) are in negotiations to write the big-screen version of the best-selling book “Confessions of a Master Jewel Thief”, by Bill Mason with Lee Gruenfeld.

“Confessions” is the memoir of Mason, who is among history’s greatest jewel thieves. The project is based at Paramount Pictures.

During a 30-year career, Mason charmed his way into the inner circles of high society and stole more than $35 million worth of jewels from such celebrities as Armand Hammer, Phyllis Diller, Bob Hope, Truman Capote, Robert Goulet and Johnny Weissmuller. He even hit the Mafia several times.
