Thursday, May 28Thursday, May 28French director Romain Gavras will adapt the Louvre’s $100 million jewel heist into a feature film, with a documentary series also in development, as announced on Tuesday.
The project, based on an upcoming investigative book by three journalists, will dramatize the 2025 theft of coronation jewels valued at €88 million ($100 million) from the Louvre. The stolen gems—among the most valuable in the museum’s collection—remain missing despite arrests and a year-long investigation, deepening the case’s mystique. Publisher Flammarion confirmed the dual adaptations, with the book set for release on Wednesday, May 27, 2026 .
Gavras, known for his stylish thrillers like *The World Is Yours* (2018), has promised a "gripping" retelling of the heist, which French media have dubbed one of the most audacious art crimes in recent history. The theft, executed with precision during a crowded public event, exposed security vulnerabilities at the world’s most visited museum .
While authorities have not disclosed details of the ongoing investigation, the unresolved case has fueled speculation about the thieves’ identities and the jewels’ whereabouts. The film and documentary are expected to explore both the crime’s execution and its aftermath, though no release dates have been announced. The Louvre has declined to comment on the adaptations.
