Murray Is A Sinner In "Saint"

Bill Murray is in early talks to star in the coming-of-age dramedy "St. Vincent De Van Nuys" says Variety.

The Black Listed script by director Ted Melfi follows a 12-year old boy who, in the wake of his parents' divorce, forms an unlikely friendship with the misanthropic war veteran and retiree (Murray) living next door whose life mainly consists of drinking, gambling and prostitutes. The elder soon becomes an unlikely mentor.

Fred Roos will produce the film.
