Jared Leto , Lupita Nyong'o and John Mulaney have signed on to star in " Lunik Heist " The film is based on a real-life incident that saw CIA operatives plot to disassemble and inspect a Soviet satellite.

The CIA team was faced with gaining access to a cabin-like crate holding the Soviet space hardware that was approximately 20 feet long and 11 feet wide with a roof about 14 feet high.

Day was looking for anything related to space and after a few hours of work came across the 1967 article.

It was a fascinating account of an intelligence operation in an unnamed country where the CIA secured access to a piece of Soviet space equipment in order to examine it overnight.

Day said he briefly contacted one of the operatives involved, "and managed to learn about some related operations to analyze that".
