I just had to look up all of those movies because I had no idea they'd made them. Those aren't exactly huge blockbuster live your life like a Rockefeller off the residuals movies. This guy might get a movie made about him but I think you're overstating it's potential worth. He might even be able to make a living through speaking engagements and the like but it's unlikely to make him rich. His heist is more niche interest than many others and I think your personal interest in it might be clouding that.
