Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston is back in the narcotics business, only this time he’ll be on the other side of the fence. THE INFILTRATOR sees him take the true life role of Robert Mazur, who famously went undercover to expose drug cartels operating in league with supposedly legitimate banks around the world in the 1980s.
While this news ain’t new, the announcement that Broad Green Pictures are to distribute the movie in the US is hot off the press. The deal was brokered at Cannes, and should see the nail-biting chronicle of Mazur’s operation reach a wide audience and get it within range of awards season in 2016. Dylan Wiley and Chris Tricarico negotiated for BG’s Gabriel and Daniel Hammond, while WME went in the room on behalf of producers Good Films.
Featuring a mix of international intrigue and sweat-inducing subterfuge against the backdrop of the twentieth century’s most decadent decade, THE INFILTRATOR should put a mighty feather in Cranston’s big screen cap. Brad Furman directed Ellen Brown Furman’s script, adapted from Mazur’s own account. The film co-stars Diane Kruger, John Leguizamo, Benjamin Bratt and Amy Ryan.
Steve is a journalist and comedian who enjoys American movies of the 70s, Amicus horror compendiums, Doctor Who, Twin Peaks, Naomi Watts and sitting down. His short fiction has been published as part of the Iris Wildthyme range from Obverse Books.
