The film is to be based on the _Rolling Stone_ article “Anonymous v.s. Steubenville,” and will reportedly focus on Lostutter’s life and role in the hacker collective Anonymous, The Hollywood _Reporter_ reports. Lostutter’s computer hacking resulted in revelations that ultimately contributed to charges being brought against high school football players who allegedly raped a 16-year-old girl. He also revealed what some believe was a cover-up on the part of local officials, including the school superintendent. Lostutter’s home was raided by the FBI and he is currently facing decades in prison over his actions. Pitt and Plan B are riding high after winning a Best Picture Oscar for _12 Years a Slave_. \[[THR](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/brad-pitts-plan-b-acquires-692796 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/47354/brad-pitt-to-produce-steubenville-rape-case-movie/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/47354/brad-pitt-to-produce-steubenville-rape-case-movie/"},"headline":"Brad Pitt to Produce Steubenville Rape Case Movie","datePublished":"2014-04-02T20:26:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:06:12.494Z","description":"Pitt and partners Plan B Entertainment will make a movie based on the Rolling Stone article “Anonymous vs. Steubenville.\" The film will focus on Deric Lostutter's work through hacker collective Anonymous to expose the cover-up of a horrific rape case","url":"https://time.com/47354/brad-pitt-to-produce-steubenville-rape-case-movie/","keywords":["movies","entertainment","Brad Pitt"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/47354/brad-pitt-to-produce-steubenville-rape-case-movie/","name":"Brad Pitt to Produce Steubenville Rape Case Movie"}}]}] ```
