The Louvre Heist Is Coming to a Cinema Near You

French publishing house Flammarion has sold the film rights for a feature adaptation of the 2025 Louvre jewel heist, in which thieves stole France's crown jewels worth over $100 million from the Apollo Gallery in broad daylight. French director Romain Gavras will direct the film, inspired by the investigative book "Main basse sur le Louvre" (2026) co-written by journalists from Le Parisien, Le Monde, and Paris Match. Documentary rights have also been sold to a British producer, even as the five suspects await trial and the stolen jewels remain missing.
