Last year’s brazen \u00a0robbery of the Louvre — when thieves made off with jewellery worth some $100 million — is set to become a movie and a documentary series, a publisher said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
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”).<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The book, written by three journalists, from French dailies Le Parisien and Le Monde, and weekly glossy magazine Paris Match, is to hit bookstores on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
According to trade magazine Le Film Francais, the movie project is in development, though neither the title nor the cast has been announced.<\/p>\n
The Louvre heist sent shockwaves around the world and sparked a security crisis within the world-famous museum that ultimately led to the replacement of its director, Laurence des Cars.<\/p>\n
After seven months of investigation, and despite the arrests of the main suspects, the jewels have still not been found.<\/p>\n
The authors said their apparent disappearance “has become a dense mystery, a puzzle that has plunged investigators into deep confusion”.<\/p>\n
The heist illustrates how “the theft of artworks has become a business like any other for many criminals”, they say. “The criminal underworld has found a new cash cow.”<\/p>\n
