Legendary Thief Targets Mona Lisa in Daring Heist Caper

In a major move, Prime Video is set to release its first French-Italian original film, "Masterplan," starring acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci. The English-language production, which begins filming today across locations in France and Italy, follows Tucci's character, a legendary thief, as he sets his sights on stealing the iconic Mona Lisa from the Louvre museum in Paris.

Tucci's character recruits two young strangers, Chiara, a skilled Italian cybercrime expert played by Simona Tabasco, and Jay, a swaggering French explosives specialist portrayed by Victor Belmondo, to help him pull off the heist of the century. However, the trio soon discovers they are long-lost siblings, and Tucci is their father, throwing them into a chaotic family reunion they never asked for.

Directed by Thomas Vincent, whose previous credits include the hit series "Bodyguard" and "Reacher," the film promises to be a thrilling blend of the heist genre and a story about family dynamics. The screenplay was co-written by Vincent and BAFTA-winning screenwriter David Wolstencroft.

Elsewhere in the industry, Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos and acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro have unveiled plans for a new stop-motion studio, weighing in on the ongoing debate around the potential of AI in the creative arts. Del Toro asserts that the "idea that AI will out-imagine things and humans is pretty unlikely," underscoring the enduring value of human creativity and craftsmanship.
