THE ART OF THE STEAL is hitting blu-ray/DVD today and today we have an exclusive look at a behind-the-scenes featurette that shows how a flashback sequence was created for "The Theft of the Mona Lisa." It's a cool peek into the machinations of working with green screen and digital effects to create a certain look, which here is reminiscent of early 1900's style film.
Take a look:
Here's the synopsis:
Kurt Russell stars as Crunch Calhoun, a third rate motorcycle daredevil and semi-reformed art thief who agrees to get back in the con game and pull off one last big heist with his conniving brother, Nicky played by Matt Dillon. The film also stars Jay Baruchel, Katheryn Winnick, Chris Diamantopoulos, Kenneth Welsh, Jason Jones and Terence Stamp.
We're suckers for Kurt Russell around here, which makes us happy to see him pop up in just about anything. While this one has flown mostly under the radar, it actually looks like a really fun flick (see our review here).
