James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender could soon be co-stars in Danny Boyle's heist thriller Trance. Both are reportedly in talks to join the film.

He is the only one who knows where the painting’s location is and after his continued failure to remember, the gang begins to suspect duplicity on his part and hire a female hypnotist to get into his brain.
