Hollywood Reporter just sent me an announcement that Paramount Pictures has purchased film rights to the Wired magazine article “The Untold Story of the World’s Biggest Diamond Heist,” by Joshua Davis. Writer-producer-director J.J. Abrams, through his Bad Robot shingle, will take on the project as a producer and hopefully, as a director.
The article, which is a rather unbelievable story about an actual diamond heist, will be published in the April issue of Wired. The article describes the true story of an unprecedented diamond heist in Antwerp, Belgium, and the crew that pulled it off. In early 2003, a small group of Italian thieves miraculously circumvented 10 layers of security to access a vault beneath the Antwerp Diamond Center and make off with a purported $100 million in diamonds, gold and jewelry (the actual value is still a mystery).
