F. Gary Gray directed The Italian Job (2003), the remake starring Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron.
The film updates the 1969 British caper from Turin to Los Angeles and Venice. Wahlberg plays Charlie Croker, while Theron plays safecracker Stella Bridger. The plot follows a crew seeking revenge after a gold robbery goes wrong.
Gray had already directed crime and action films including Friday and Set It Off. The remake became one of his most commercially successful films and helped establish a modern franchise-style identity for the story.
The 2003 film is often confused with the original The Italian Job, which starred Michael Caine and was directed by Peter Collinson. Despite sharing the title and a Mini-centered getaway, the two films have different casts, settings, and plot details.
