Leonardo DiCaprio and Ridley Scott seem to work together particularly well.
The Academy award-nominated double act, who freshly finished the political thriller Body of Lies, are setting up to pair up again on the shady drama The Low Dwellers, which they will coproduce and most expectedly star in and direct, correspondingly.
A resource person disclosed to the Hollywood Reporter that the screenplay by first-time writer Brad Ingelsby, which apparently is a reminiscent of the quality of No Country for Old Men and compatibly gritty yet clever thrillers, was fished up for $650,000 by Relativity Media.
DiCaprio is signed up to play an excon just out of prison who’s challenged to rejoin the public but is being chased by a form from his past seeking to resolve a score. Rounding up to the cat and mouse plot, a third male personality and a female lead also outline significantly into the script’s design.
Scott just completed shooting Body of Lies, the auteur’s third partnership with screenwriter William Monahan, in which DiCaprio is a writer/correspondent turned government operative on the pursue of an Al Qaeda head in the Middle East at the command of Russell Crowe’s CIA chief.
And it seems that each person concerned, regardless of how venerated, is contented to go back to a set where everybody knows their name.
Previous to Scott and DiCaprio start on their latest venture, DiCaprio is scheduled to appear in Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island, the actor’s fourth time to grace the camera for The Departed Oscar winner, and Scott will direct Crowe in Nottingham.
