THR reports that Brad Pitt and Brett Ratner are planing to produce the real life drama "Anonymous vs. Steubenville".
A film adaptation of an article published in Rolling Stone Magazine about a court case involving a rape in a sleepy Ohio town.
In 2012, two football players from the local high school
sexually assaulted an unconscious 16-year-old girl over a period of
several hours. The pair not only filmed the attack, they bragged about
it on social media .The hacktivist group Anonymous aimed to expose the incident that senior
Steubenville officials tried hard to cover up. Ultimately the school's
superintendent, an elementary school principal and two coaches were
indicted.
Anonymous hacker Deric Lostutter (pictured) potentially faces ten
years in prison after he leaked damning video of the assault that proved
the girl was already incapacitated. On the flip side, the teenage
rapists he helped catch spent only one year in jail.
The searches for both a writer and director a underway.
