Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio can't keep their hands off one another. The two will reteam for The Low Dweller, which Relativity Media bought after a heated bidding war.
DiCaprio and Scott Reteam for The Low Dweller
Scott and DiCaprio will produce The Low Dweller with Dicaprio attached to star and Scott contemplating whether or not to sit in the director's chair.
Set in Indiana in the mid-1980s, the movie centers on a man (DiCaprio) trying to assimilate into society after he's released from jail, only to find someone from his past pursuing him to settle a score. In addition to the pursuer, a third male character and a female love interest are said to figure prominently in the script.
For his first script, Brad Ingelsby has hit the jackpot. Writing the story in his spare time, the rookie scribe sold the spec for $650,000 against $1.1 million.
