“The Anarchists vs. the Islamic State,” an incredible Rolling Stone piece published last month, is going to be a movie. The article centered around 27-year-old Brace Belden, an American “punk and pity criminal” better known as Twitter user @PissPigGrandad, who joined Kurdish militia YPG last year to fight ISIS in Syria. (It also followed several other volunteers of varied nationalities.) According to the Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming film adaptation will be lead by Chilean director Daniel Espinosa, and will star Jake Gyllenhaal.
