Brad Ingelsby’s script, The Low Dweller was picked up by Relativity Media last week and could get made quickly with Ridley Scott directing and Leonardo DiCaprio starring, reports Variety.
Ingelsby who is 27, still lives with his parents and works for his father’s insurance business. His story is a dark drama set in 1986 in Indiana. The plan is for DiCaprio to play Slim, a man who gets released after serving years in prison for murder, and wants only to follow through on his promise to marry his long-suffering girlfriend. That is, until he discovers that his loser brother has been murdered after getting involved in a seedy midwestern gambling racket. While Slim did time for a murder he couldn’t avoid, he decides he can’t skip out on his obligation to avenge his brother’s murder.
