The Panama Papers leak will be the subject of new cinema production. International sources have announced that the film which will be called The Laundomat , has attracted the attention of Merryl Streep, Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas.
T he Laundromat is based on Jake Bernstein’s 2017 book Secrecy World: Inside the Panama Papers Investigation of Illicit Money Networks and the Global Elite . Scott Z. Burns is writing the script, having previously collaborated with Soderbergh on The Informant!, Contagion , and Side Effects .
For director Steven Soderbergh, this film, will be a higher step in film production as so far he has been involved in low-budget movies.
Netflix is “eying” The Laundromat, despite already having a separate “Panama Papers” film in the works with producer John Wells.
