What seemed to be continuing DC's newfound success saga with Shazam! thanks to leading man, Zachary Levi - the actor will now be continuing his streak ahead to be a part of yet another mega film soon. Levi joins Benedict Cumberbatch and Jodie Foster in the upcoming film, Prisoner 760.

The film, as we know, is a real-life legal drama and an adaptation of Mohamedou Ould Slahi's memoir, "Guantánamo Diary" that will be helmed by director Kevin Macdonald. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is billed as a fight for survival against impossible odds. 760 tells the true tale of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a man who was captured by the U.S. government and held for years without charge or trial.

Slahi finds unlikely allies in defense attorneys Nancy Hollander and her associate Teri Duncan, being played by Foster and Woodley, respectively, who desperately pursue justice. They are aided by a military prosecutor named Lt. Stuart Couch (Cumberbatch). Levi will play an old friend of the prosecutor's, a federal agent by the name of Neil Buckland.

The movie adapts Guantánamo Diary, the New York Times best-selling memoir that Slahi wrote while still imprisoned.

Cumberbatch is producing with Adam Ackland and Leah Clarke via their company SunnyMarch. Lloyd Levin and Beatriz Levin of Black Sheep Pictures, Mark Holder and Christine Holder of Wonder Street, and Branwen Prestwood Smith are also producing. Slahi is a co-producer.
