Slim Shady

Director Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio must have had a great time working together on the forthcoming drama Body of Lies-because the talented duo are already planning to work together in the near future.

The 2 are eying to turn Brad Ingelsby's spec script-a thriller called "The Low Dweller" into a flick according to The Hollywood Reporter

Set in Indiana during the mid-1980s, the movie focuses on a ex-con called Slim (DiCaprio) as he tries to assimilate back into society after serving his time

His plans on marrying his girlfriend, are interrupted when he discovers that his loser brother has been murdered after getting involved a gambling ring.

He decides to put his new life on hold to avenge his brother's murder. Scott and DiCaprio will co-produce the film, with DiCaprio attached to star and Scott hoping to direct.

The project will not happen immediately though-DiCaprio's currently working on another period thriller "Shutter Island" while Scott is prepping the dramatic romance "Nottingham"
