‘King Of Thieves’ Trailer: It’s ‘Ocean’s 8’ But With Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, And Director James Marsh

This summer, audiences saw the release of “Oceans 8” and this fall, we can all look forward to ‘Oceans 88’ (get it?) with “King of Thieves.” The upcoming film tackles a ripped from the headlines story from a few years ago that was just begging to be seen on the big screen, as an aging group of senior citizens plans an epic heist. Turns out, it was already made in 2017 with “The Hatton Garden Job.” The history of movies is full of dueling takes on similar stories and it’ll certainly be interesting to see which take of the infamous heist comes out on top.

For now, brush up on the story with the new trailer and official synopsis:

Based on the incredible true story of the spectacular 2015 London diamond heist, one of the biggest in British history, that became news around the world when it was discovered to have been perpetrated by a misfit gang of retirees and pensioners defying their own age. Brought to the screen by renowned producers Working Title and Academy Award-winning director James Marsh, “KING OF THIEVES” features an incredible ‘Best of British’ ensemble cast led by Academy Award winners Michael Caine and Jim Broadbent in a funny crime thriller.

At least on paper, one of the things setting “King of Thieves” apart from “The Hatton Garden Job” are all the big names. Like the synopsis mentions, the film features a cast full of British legends. Starring in addition to Michael Caine and Jim Broadbent are Tom Courtenay, Michael Gambon, Ray Winstone, and “Daredevil” star Charlie Cox.

Sitting in the director’s chair for “King of Thieves” is “The Theory of Everything” and “Man on Wire” helmer James Marsh. And with Joe Penhall of “Mindhunter,” “The Road,” and “The Long Firm” acclaim handling screenwriting duties, this is sure to be a wild ride of a film.

“King of Thieves” arrives in UK cinemas on September 14th.
