Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to Michael Armour's upcoming novel The Road Home. Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper has signed on to write, produce, and direct the film. As of right now Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce it and potentially star in it.
According to Deadline, the film will be "a Depression-era drama that focuses on Creek, a war-scarred rancher on the Central California coast who finds himself entangled in scandal when he is asked to investigate the brutal murder of a local man, a case that local police have swept under the rug."
DiCaprio just got finished shooting the Martin Scorsese-directed film The Wolf Of Wall Street. This sounds like it could be a good story. We'll find out more when the book is released.
