Sony will teach you how to rob a casino
The Sony Pictures film company will remind viewers that in real life the robberies of gambling houses are far from being as elegant and glamorous as in the films about many friends and girlfriends of Danny Ocean. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the Hollywood studio has acquired the rights to film the bestselling novel by John Huddy "Storming Las Vegas. How a Cuban-born and Soviet-trained commando earned millions of dollars by robbing five world-class hotels and three cash-in-transit armored cars. ”The book went on sale in February 2008. Three years later, the rights to her film adaptation were bought by Summit Entertainment, which invited Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) to the director's chair, Storming Las Vegas. In November 2014, the author of "Living Steel" and "Stringer" Dan Gilroy was appointed the scriptwriter of the thriller, after which any news from the camp of the film project stopped coming. Either Summit Entertainment did not manage to realize its rights to the book on time, or its leaders put the project up for auction. One way or another, the crime thriller came under the wing of the Sony studio, which decided to abandon the developments of its predecessors. From now on, the adaptation of the book for the big screen will be done by the writer Dennis Lehane, based on whose works such films as "The Mysterious River", "Goodbye Baby, Goodbye" and "Isle of the Damned" were shot.  The tape will tell about the confrontation between veteran of the Las Vegas Police Department John Alamshaw and one of the most dangerous bandits in the history of Sin City. In 1999, Cuban Jose Vigoa committed his first successful casino robbery. The culprit got a taste, and for the next 16 months, he kept the entire world entertainment capital at bay. During this time, his gang managed to rob the cash desks and cash collection machines of the famous gambling houses MGM Grand, Desert Inn, Mandalay Bay, New York-New York and Bellagio. During the robbery of the latter, Jose flashed his face on camera, thanks to which the police were finally able to get on his trail.  To avoid the death penalty, Vigoa pleaded guilty to most of the charges. Judge Katie Hardcastle commuted the sentence and sentenced the robber to four life sentences.
