Whisky Robber Shooting Begins
Director Nimród Antal will begin shooting a feature film on Attila Ambrus, who has come to be known as the whisky robber, on June 11. The Hungarian National Film Fund will subsidise the film to the tune of Ft 1.1 billion. It will be shot in 130 locations for seventy days but does not yet have a title.

The film will cover the life of the robber from his childhood to his capture. Ambrus robbed about 30 banks and post offices from 1993 to 1999.

The premiere is planned for the spring of 2017.
