PARIS, France (AFP) — Last year’s brazen robbery of the Louvre — when thieves made off with jewellery worth some US$100 million — is set to become a movie and a documentary series, a publisher said on Tuesday.
French director Romain Gavras — whose work includes 2025 Hollywood film Sacrifice starring Anya Taylor-Joy and music videos including most recently a hypnotic schoolboy choreography for GENER8ION — will draw inspiration from the investigative book Main basse sur le Louvre (literally “A grab at the Louvre”).
Film rights to the book about the October 19, 2025 heist had been sold to the production company Iconoclast while rights for a documentary series were acquired by a British producer, the Flammarion publishing house said.
