DiCaprio's 'Low Dweller' May Have Found a Director

It's been a few months since we've heard an update on The Low Dweller, a co-production between Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way and his Body of Lies director Ridley Scott's Scott Free production houses. What attracted Leo and Ridley to the project was a script that had a fair percentage of Hollywood salivating. So it's interesting that the film might be turned over to an inexperienced director. The Hollywood Reporter says that commercial director Rupert Sanders is in negotiations for The Low Dweller. Perhaps you've seen his work for the Wolverine and Halo 3 video games and Monster.com. Sanders is also attached to the remake of The Wild Geese. The script that started all of this is by Brad Ingelsby, and it's about a man released from prison and is haunted by a "figure from his past." It has apparently been compared to No Country for Old Men, and boy, that's a dangerous precedent to set for a movie by an unknown director with a script by a writer with very few credits. DiCaprio will definitely produce (one of the more than 20 projects he currently has in development), and he is apparently set to star as well. That could either take some pressure off the new director or heap a whole lot more on him.

WHY is SCOTT wasting his time and ours on routine, pointless
