Deadline is reporting that Daniel Radcliffe (Swiss Army Man) and Zachary Quinto (Star Trek Beyond) are set to star in We Do Not Forget, a “hacktivist” drama from writer-director Zach Helm (Stranger Than Fiction) which will present a fictionalised account of a real confrontation between hacker group Anonymous and the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel.
“We’re so excited to work with Zach on this,” said Michael Bloom, President of First Look Media, who is financing the project. “It’s a subject that we’re close to, handled in a way that’s powerful and complex. And to be in the hands of producers Antoine Fuqua and Kat Samick and this talented cast, we’re sure we’re going to get a thrilling film.”
The inspiration from the film was an event where Anonymous reportedly uncovered 25,000 Mexican government emails containing names and details of the Los Zetas members, and threatened to make them public after the cartel kidnapped one of their members. Naturally, Los Zetas didn’t take too kindly to the threat and hired security experts to track down the hackers, promising death to those who were unmasked.
