The film stars Freddie Highmore as Thom, a mastermind thief who recruits a team of experts to help him pull off the heist. The team includes Liam Cunningham as Walter, the safe-cracking expert, Sam Riley as James, the explosives expert, and Astrid Bergès-Frisbey as Lorraine, the hacker.
The Vault has been described as a mix of a traditional heist movie with elements of horror and suspense. The film is set in the Bank of Spain, one of the oldest banks in the world, which is said to have a dark history. The bank is also home to a mysterious vault that has been sealed off for over a century, and whispers of supernatural forces guarding the vault have circulated for generations.
As the team of thieves begins the heist, they quickly realize that they have bitten off more than they can chew. The bank’s security system is state-of-the-art, and there are guards everywhere. But when they finally gain access to the vault, things begin to get really strange.
The film’s director, Jaume Balagueró, has said that he was drawn to the project because of the unique combination of genres. “I’ve always been a fan of heist movies, but I also love horror and suspense,” he said. “So when I read the script for The Vault, I was immediately intrigued. It’s a really interesting mix of different genres, and I think it works really well.”
The Vault has been in development for several years, and the filmmakers have been working hard to create a realistic and terrifying depiction of the Bank of Spain. The film’s production designer, Balter Gallart, spent months researching the bank’s history and architecture in order to create an accurate set.
“We wanted to create a very specific atmosphere for the film,” Gallart said. “The Bank of Spain is a very old building with a lot of history, and we wanted to capture that in the design. But we also wanted to make it feel modern and sleek, so we had to strike a balance between the old and the new.”
The Vault is set to be released in theaters in 2021, and the anticipation for the film is growing. Fans of heist movies and horror films alike are excited to see what Jaume Balagueró and his team have in store for them.
Overall, The Vault is shaping up to be a thrilling and unique addition to the heist movie genre. With a talented cast and crew, a fascinating setting, and a chilling premise, this film is sure to be one to watch in 2021.
