Noah Centineo is headed to Wall Street.

The 24-year-old actor is set to star in an upcoming Netflix movie focused on the surge in GameStop stock, PEOPLE confirms.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty) will write the screenplay, according to Deadline.

The film will center on the ongoing battle between hedge funds and the amateur Reddit traders who caused GameStop stock to skyrocket to more than 1,700 percent last week through investing apps like Robinhood.

Last month, Redditors encouraged each other to buy stock in the beloved video game store, which drove up the price of the company's stocks.

Hedge fund companies were betting the stock would go down but then regular investors' interest in the stocks caused prices to surged meaning hedge funds lost billions of dollars.

Similar situations happened with individual traders buying stocks in other struggling companies such AMC movie theaters, Blackberry and Build-A-Bear Workshop.
