Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle’s last big-screen effort was the ingenious art heist thriller TRANCE starring James McAvoy. It now appears that he’s going back in the same game for a feature-film based on a acclaimed documentary SMASH & GRAB: THE STORY OF THE PINK PANTHERS for frequent collaborators Pathe and Fox Searchlight.
Havana Marking’s Serbian-based documentary, released earlier this year, centred on the world’s most successful diamond thieves. A fearless gang who proudly showcased their work in dark underworld of the international jewel trade with footage from real-life surveillance and interviews with the ringleaders.
Apparently, Boyle has pushed for the project after being impressed with the film and became very interested in turning it into a picture.
