The thriller from director Brad Furman also stars Bryan Cranston, Diane Kruger and Benjamin Bratt.

The Infiltrator is adapted from Robert Mazur’s autobiography about a customs and excise agent (Cranston) who went undercover as a money launderer and helped orchestrate one of history’s most elaborate stings, getting to the bankers behind the Medellin drug cartel. Ellen Brown Furman wrote the transfer.

Shooting will move to Miami in late April.

The fact-based thriller, to be directed by Brad Furman, is based on the Robert Mazur autobiography with a script by Ellen Brown Furman.

The Infiltrator centers on a customs and excise agent (Cranston) who went undercover as a money launderer and infiltrated the bankers behind the Medellin drug cartel.

Bratt will portray Roberto Alcanio, the agent’s contact who dealt directly with cartel board members including Pablo Escobar.

Production is expected to begin shortly.

Bratt most recently appeared on television in Fox’s 24: Live Another Day.

It looks like Benicio del Toro isn’t the only actor portraying Pablo Escobar on film…

Oscar Isaac has signed on to portray the notorious Colombian drug cartel kingpin in a biopic to be directed by Brad Furman.

Furman, who helmed Lincoln Lawyer, has long wanted to develop an Escobar biopic.

Based on a script by Matt Aldrich, this will be the latest in a long line of attempts at making a movie about Escobar, with the likes of Joe Carnahan and Antoine Fuqua both developing movies about the legendary Colombian drug kingpin that fell through.

Isaac, who will be starring in Inside Llewyn Davis later this year, will begin filming on the biopic in Colombia this September.
