Assuming a film must be in the offing, it strikes me as a perfect opportunity to bring back the great Ealing comedies.
In the absence of Alec Guiness, Peter Sellers & Cecil Parker who would you put in.
Here's my selection:
- Michael Gambon.
- Michael Caine.
- Ian McKellan.
- Bill Nighy.
- Ray Winstone.
- David Jason.
Perhaps Basil should be John Cleese.
Stick Hugh Grant and Richard E Grant in and you've nailed it I reckon.
been done already... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0200465/
Judging by what a balls up it was I'd cast the Chuckle Brothers,Mr Tumble and the puppet cast of Rainbow.
Joe Pasquale as the ring leader.

Tom "I came here for a shootout" Hardy, bit a makeup he'll be fine..and yes I do mean for all the roles.
Vinnie Jones - he's knocking on a bit now
You pretty much want the cast of snatch. It'll probably get hollywoodised though and we'll have Brad Pitt and George Clooney playing a couple of cockney wide boys.
Edit: realised as I hit post that Brad Pitt was actually in snatch!
Vinnie Jones - he's knocking on a bit now
Definitely Vinne, Cantona too
Bruce Forsyth
Love the Pasquale suggestion 🙂

Ideal
Alan Ford without question.
"Judging by what a balls up it was" Huh ??
Proper job, physical theft of this scale is virtually impossible these days and they nearly got away with it.
All the young criminals are in financial fraud, drugs, on-line gambling, prostitution, smuggling or protection rackets.

Steven Berkoff
Peter Capaldi, I reckon there was some swearing

If one of them hadn't driven to the job in his own rather distinctive car in full view of CCTV it may have helped.
We'd need to have the victims in too. Ones who lost momentos, invaluable family airlooms, things that are soo precious to them but are probably fenced on, melted down/broken up and sold on for much much less by now.
Whoever they were they'd have to go on a serious diet, the thing that stunned me was how small the hole was that they crawled through. I think the Met needs to start targeting pensioners yoga classes in case of copycat heists.
I'd like to see Tilda Swinton play all the roles, except for any female roles which can be played by Eddie Redmayne (if Gabourey Sidibe isn't available). I'd relocate the story to Weimar Germany though.
