When watching the news back in April 2015, to watch on as the events surrounding the Hatton Garden heist unravelled – where four elderly men pulled off one of the most ambitious robberies of all time – it was impossible to not envisage a movie. Lo and behold, barely two years on, and the first cinematic endeavour depicting this astonishing tale is set to hit our screens – and HeyUGuys were fortunate enough to be invited on to the film’s London set.
The set was notable for its commitment to authenticity, with real life equipment – such as a monumental drill – being used to reenact the break-in sequences, to not only enrich the experience for the actors, but for the viewers too. However director Ronnie Thompson told us that he’s blending realism with a more overtly cinematic approach, vying to find the humour within this ordeal, and play up to it accordingly.

In the wake of Shain’s tragic death, MTV producers decided to pull the plug on ‘Buckwild’ — find out the reason behind the cancellation!
On April 1, Buckwild star Shain Gandee was found dead from carbon monoxide poisoning in his Ford Bronco in a ravine near his West Virginia home. When Shain’s sudden death happened, MTV producers were already in the process of shooting the second season of the reality series. On April 10, the network announced that they “will not be moving forward” with production of Buckwild.
The Real Reason ‘Buckwild’ Was Cancelled
Although it’s clear the cancellation was because of Shain’s death, an insider gives Us Weekly a little more insight on the situation.
“It would have taken a morbid turn,” the source explains. “People loved Shain. He was the show’s star.”
Although the producers felt it was best to cancel the show, the cast disagreed.
