Tonight, Deadline is confirming this morning’s Twitter rumors – production on Idol’s Eye was shut down due to financing.

The shoot was set to start last week in Toronto and one of the movie’s stars, Robert Pattinson, was even spotted in town to begin filming.

But, according to a statement released by the production company this morning, they were not able to raise the funds needed to begin production:

“Due to the criteria for financing not being met by producers, Benaroya Pictures has formally decided to discontinue financing the motion picture titled Idol’s Eye.”

Idol’s Eye was to follow a group of criminals who get in over their heads after trying to rob a pawn shop. Pattinson, Robert De Niro and Rachel Weisz were set to star.
