It’s ‘The Road Home’ For DiCaprio & Crazy Heart’s Scott Cooper
23 February 2013 8:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
As far as we can tell, it’s not even been published yet but Warner Bros has already snapped up the movie rights for The Road Home by Michael Armour and they’re setting it up for Leonardo DiCaprio, who’s supposed to be on a long break isn’t he? Regardless, Scott Cooper of Crazy Heart fame has also signed up to write the screenplay, direct and produce with Leo and Jennifer Davisson Killoran’s Appian Way production company.
The Road Home is set in the Great Depression and focuses on a man named Creek on the Central California coast, who finds himself tangled up in a scandal when he is asked to investigate the brutal murder of a local man.
Obviously, at this stage, all this is such a long way off that DiCaprio could still have that time off he’s been promising himself but either way, »

Scott Cooper Might Put Leonardo DiCaprio Through Ptsd, Great Depression, and Murder on ‘The Road Home’
21 February 2013 5:00 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Once upon a time, Leonardo DiCaprio was going to star in a movie about poor people and violent crime. The film was going to be called Out of the Furnace, and it was going to be directed by Ridley Scott. That deal never quite came together though, so eventually the film went to Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, who rewrote it and recast the lead with Christian Bale. What could have been a missed opportunity is now a movie tentatively scheduled to be released later this year. The fates have conspired to give DiCaprio another chance at making a movie about poor people and violent crime though, and funnily enough this time it comes with Cooper attached as the director. Deadline is reporting that Warner Bros. has acquired the rights to a still-unreleased Michael Armour novel called “The Road Home,” which they’ve got Cooper signed on to direct and are hoping to develop as a starring »

Leonardo DiCaprio And Scott Cooper Team Up For 1930s Crime Thriller The Road Home
21 February 2013 12:01 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Cinema has often dipped into the story pool of 1930s crime dramas, which present a simpler time in America.s history.

Michael Armour.s upcoming novel The Road Home looks like it will establish that same gritty tone, and Deadline reports Warner Bros. has already snatched up the rights for it, with Appian Way, the production company run by Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Davisson Killoran, set to produce. Scott Cooper, who wrote and directed 2009.s countrified Crazy Heart, will also be writing and directing this film. And though DiCaprio is only listed as a producer for now, there.s no telling how »

Leonardo DiCaprio To Take The Road Home For Scott Cooper
21 February 2013 10:32 AM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Just when everyone was getting used to the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio would be taking a break from acting, meaning we’d only get to see him in peculiar Japanese whiskey commercials for a while, it looks like the actor may already have another project lined up.
Deadline is reporting Warner Bros. has bought The Road Home for director Scott Cooper who will also be producing alongside DiCaprio. Although it is still unknown whether DiCaprio will star or only produce, it looks like the story is being rewritten by Cooper as a star vehicle for DiCaprio.
The Michael Armour novel which the film will be based on follows Creek, a war-scarred rancher on the California coast during the depression-era who finds himself entangled in a scandal when he’s asked to investigate a murder of a local man, that despite being brutal, was swept under the rug by the local police. »

It was only a month ago that Leonardo DiCaprio made headlines when he announced that he was taking "a long, long break" from acting to focus on his environmental activism, but that doesn't mean he's keeping his feet firmly out of Hollywood.

Deadline reports that Warner Bros. have snapped up the rights to Michael Armour's upcoming novel "The Road Home," with "Crazy Heart" director Scott Cooper to helm, write and co-produce the movie. The film will tell the story of Creek, a rancher in Depression era California, scarred by the war, who is tasked with investigating the murder of a local man when the police sweep. »
