Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston is currently preparing to shoot his starring role in The Infiltrator, which begins production in early March, co-starring Diane Kruger.

The thriller is based on the autobiography by Robert Mazur (Cranston), a customs and excise agent who went undercover to investigate drug cartels. As the glamorous, mob-connected Bob Musella, he befriended some of the most dangerous criminals in the hierarchy, secretly recording their meetings before blowing the whole thing out of the water at a staged wedding.

Director Brad Furman (Runner Runner, The Lincoln Lawyer) is calling the shots from a screenplay by Ellen Brown Furman. Miriam Segal of UK-based Good Films produces, with filming due to start in the UK from the first week of March. The eight week shoot will also take place in Paris and Florida.
