American film director and producer Oliver Stone plans to make a movie about the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena Salazar at the hands of Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero.

For this purpose, he is in talks with Héctor G. Berrellez, who in 1985 oversaw the "Operation Legend" to investigate the kidnapping, torture and murder of the DEA agent.

"Oliver sought Berrellez through mutual friends and suggested that his son Sean produces the film," said Arlette Garibay, who recently produced a documentary about the case.
