Trial By Fire

Actor/director Ben Stiller is in early talks to call action on "The Trial of the Chicago 7", says The Hollywood Reporter.

The film is a political drama about the 1968 riots at the Democratic convention and its aftermath...Stiller joins Steven Spielberg and Paul Greengrass as folks attached to direct...

If a deal with Stiller is made--the film marks a major departure for him --breaking out of the comedy genre.. A big move for Ben...

Under terms of the DreamWorks/Paramount split agreement, DreamWorks has taken over development of the project and wants to put the film into production right away.
