Bryan Cranston Is "The Infiltrator"

THR reports that Bryan Cranston is attached to re-team with his "The Lincoln Lawyer" director Brad Furman on the biopic thriller "The Infiltrator".


The film will be based on author Robert Mazur's autobiography of the same name. Ellen Brown Furman pens the adapted screenplay.

Mazur was a customs and excise agent spent five years undercover as a playboy named Bob Musella who infiltrated the criminal hierarchy of Colombia's drug cartels. In the process he captured the damning evidence of the crimes of the corrupt bankers and businessmen who financed these crooks. At a staged wedding, he led a dramatic takedown which saw more than eighty men and women charged worldwide, the evidence proved critical to the conviction of Panamanian dictator General Manuel Noriega.

Miriam Segal is set to produce the film.

Production begins in January on location in London, Paris and Florida.
