As a seasoned gamer who has lived through countless cinematic adventures, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming film “Lunik Heist.” With a stellar cast led by Jared Leto, John Mulaney, and Lupita Nyong’o, this dramedy caper promises to be an exhilarating ride filled with subterfuge and unlikely heroes.
Actors Jared Leto, John Mulaney, and Lupita Nyong’o have agreed to take on roles in the upcoming film titled “Lunik Heist.” This dramedy caper is set to be directed by Kemp Powers for Searchlight Pictures, a division of Disney. The announcement was made public on Friday.
The screenplay, penned by Powers, draws inspiration from the genuine account of a covert plan by the U.S. administration to pilfer a Soviet spacecraft during the 1959 exhibition held in Mexico City. This narrative is derived from an article authored by Jeff Maysh and originally published in MIT Technology Review.
In an effort to uncover the Soviet Union’s scientific advancements, the CIA decided to steal a space probe. They examined its hidden secrets and then returned it without anyone realizing what had taken place. This covert operation was kept secret for many years until it was declassified in 2019.
Leto and Emma Ludbrook are co-producing this project under the Paradox label, joined by Mark Johnson from Gran Via Productions. Maysh takes on the role of executive producer.
During the unveiling of the project, Matthew Greenfield from Searchlight Pictures commended the “extraordinary skills” of Jared, Lupita, and John, along with the “innovative mind” of Kemp. He referred to Lunik Heist as an “exciting, thrilling journey, brimming with deception and unconventional champions.
Zahra Phillips, our Development Director, will take charge of the project at Searchlight Pictures. She’ll be answering directly to DanTram Nguyen, who is in charge of production and development.
The individuals involved in this project boast an impressive collection of trophies and certificate-worthy achievements among them.
As a dedicated admirer, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been associated with two incredible animated masterpieces: “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” and “Soul,” which clinched the best animated Oscar in 2021 at the prestigious ceremony. Moreover, I had the privilege of transforming my 2013 stage play, “One Night in Miami…”, into a screenplay, an effort that garnered me an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay.
Jared Leto won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor due to his outstanding performance in Dallas Buyers Club. His recent works include Blade Runner 2049, The Little Things, and House of Gucci. Up next for him is a role in Tron: Ares.

Lupita Nyong’o garnered an Academy Award for her exceptional acting in Steve McQueen’s film “12 Years a Slave,” distributed by Searchlight Pictures. More recently, she lent her voice to the main character in DreamWorks Animation’s successful movie “The Wild Robot” and featured in the summer blockbuster “A Quiet Place: Day One.” Making her Broadway debut with “Eclipsed,” she will soon appear as Viola in the Public Theater’s rendition of “The Twelfth Night.
