Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad, Argo and Malcolm in the Middle Star, was cast on the other side of the law in The Infiltrator. Walter White will go under cover to bust  the Columbia drug cartels.

 "The Infiltrator" is based on a book by Robert Mazur, a former Drug Enforcement Administration agent. The book recounts his time posing as a Tampa businessman who went undercover for five years to bring down an international financial institution that laundered tens of millions of dollars for Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.  Mazur was known as a man with connections to the mob named Bob Musella. He infiltrated his way to the inner circle of corrupt bankers and businessmen. Mazur slept in $1,000-per night hotel suites, flew in private jets, drank the finest champagne. Drove a Rolls Royce. Adoned himself in Armani suits. As part of  Operation C-Chase, he busted 80 people and was part of the team that nabbed General Manuel Noriega.

According to the Tampa Hillsborough Film and Digital Media Commission, filming is set to  in February. The film will also be shot in London and Paris.

In a statement, Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan said "This is a big win ... that validates the time and resources we've dedicated to rebuilding our local film industry. By attracting a big-budget motion picture like The Infiltrator, we're proving that we can, and will, compete for projects that were regularly going to Miami, Orlando or elsewhere in Florida."

The Infiltrator was adapted for the screen by Ellen Brown Furman. Brad Furman will direct. Furman worked with Cranston on The Lincoln Lawyer. The movie will be the first of seven pictures from Good Films. Principal photography is set to start in January on location in London, Paris and Florida.

Camela Galano, president of Relativity International promised that the movie will deliver "edge-of-your-seat thrills."

Good Films co-founder Martin Rushton-Turner said The Infiltratos will be the first of seven films, all developed by George Films, that will be "intelligent, quirky and original films with integrity."

The films will have budgets ranging from $12 million-$40 million. They will include the adaptation of James Patterson's "Alex Cross" and Liza Marklund's "The Postcard Killings."
