StudioCanal Unveil Alternative Poster Set for James Marsh’s Crime Drama KING OF THIEVES Ahead of September Release
Ahead of its release next month, The Fan Carpet are very excited to present four alternative posters to celebrate the upcoming release of James Marsh’s KING OF THIEVES, the incredible true story of the spectacular Hatton Garden diamond heist, the biggest and most daring in British history, courtesy of StudioCanal!
A caper film about the unlikely gang of retirees that pulled off the daring Hatton Garden jewellery heist of 2015.
Developed from Mark Seal's Vanity Fair piece 'The Over the Hill Mob', the film tells the story of the epic multi-million-pound robbery initially believed to be undertaken by a gang of super-thieves. The actual perpetrators were a group of tough-guy retired criminals in their late 60s and 70s — with all kinds of physical maladies — who were mostly unoccupied and bored, until they consulted a bunch of how-to books and figured out a way to pull off one last hurrah over a long weekend in April 2015.
Entering the Hatton Garden Safe Deposit Company property via a lift shaft, they drilled through the 50cm thick vault walls with heavy machinery and escaped with a haul estimated to be worth around £200 million.
Produced by Working Title Films for STUDIOCANAL, KING OF THIEVES is humorously told through career best performances from a stellar cast; Sir Michael Caine (THE DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY, KINGSMAN), Jim Broadbent (SENSE OF AN ENDING, MOULIN ROUGE), Ray Winstone (THE DEPARTED, COLD MOUNTAIN), Michael Gambon (KING’S SPEECH, HARRY POTTER), Tom Courtenay (GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY, GAMBIT) and Charlie Cox (THEORY OF EVERYTHING, STARDUST). KING OF THIEVES is written by Joe Penhall (THE ROAD, MINDHUNTER), directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (MAN ON WIRE, THEORY OF EVERYTHING), and produced by BAFTA winning and Academy Award nominees Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner (THEORY OF EVERYTHING, LES MISERABLES), alongside Ali Jaafar (THE IDOL) and Michelle Wright (7 DAYS IN ENTEBBE).
Starring the stellar ensemble of Sir Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtenay, Charlie Cox, Michael Gambon and Ray Winstone, KING OF THIEVES hits Cinemas on September 14.
