THR reports that Lee Daniels ("Precious," "The Butler") will direct the biopic "The Brian Banks Story".
The project centers on the true story of Brian Banks an All-American high school
football player falsely accused of rape. A hasty plea bargain resulted
in him serving more than five years in prison and having to register as
a sex offender. His conviction was overturned in 2012, and,
after a decade hiatus, he returned to football and joined the Atlanta Falcons in April 2013.
The project is currently searching for writers.
Amy Baer will produce.
