David Leitch presents his new project: a band of thieves who decide to broadcast their heists on social media. The film, which premieres in the U.S. on September 4, 2026, presents a scenario where the pursuit of easy money combines with the obsession for digital fame. While the police chase them, the public watches the criminal spectacle from their screens.
The technical script behind criminal streaming 🎥
The production will require a particular technical approach to simulate realistic live broadcasts. The visual effects team will need to integrate social platform interfaces, notifications, and real-time audience metrics. The cinematography will likely use multiple handheld cameras and mobile devices to emulate the perspective of the criminals and their followers. Sound will also play a key role, combining dialogues with ambient sounds of notifications and streams.
Tip of the day: don't share your location live 🚨
Because if you plan to rob a bank, the last thing you want is for the police to see your 4K stream from the getaway car. Leitch's film reminds us that, although the like is addictive, having thousands of people watching your crime is not the best escape strategy. At least, make sure you have a good data plan and a portable charger before committing the crime of the century.
