Captain Ron

Actor/filmmaker Justin Theroux sits on the big chair to direct "Chief Ron" says Variety.



Jordan Roberts wrote the comedy about a conman who claims Mohegan ancestry in an attempt to open a casino and draws inspiration from the true story of Chief' Ron Roberts.

Roberts' blonde hair and blue eyes raised skepticism over his ancestral claims but he prevailed in court and is now building a casino in upstate New York....

Theroux's done it all now...

As an actor he's been seen in “American Psycho,” “Mulholland Drive,” “Zoolander” and “Miami Vice".

This will be the first major studio directing job for Theroux after having directed the indie Dedication" 'in 07.

He wrote the script for "Iron Man 2" and co-wrote and exec produced "Tropic Thunder.".
