According to
Deadline Hollywood,
Leonardo DiCaprio is eyeing to make
Prisoners his next feature, an
Aaron Guzikowski-scripted thriller/drama that
Alcon Entertainment partners
Andrew Kosove and
Broderick Johnson bought last year.
In the movie DiCaprio would play a small-town carpenter who kidnaps the person he suspects is behind the disappearance of his young daughter and her best friend. Deadline describes the movie as
Mystic River meets
Taken.
In the 12 years we've run this company, this is the most interesting, morally complex thriller we've ever gotten, and we can't wait to make the movie,
said Andrew Kosove.
The script made the most recent Black List. And the Alcon duo, who with Gil Netter are up for Best Picture for
The Blind Side, are producing with
Kira Davis and
Adam Kohlbrenner.
Directors like
Antoine Fuqua and
Bryan Singer, and actors like
Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and
Mark Wahlberg have all been circling or attached at one point in the past few years. All have since dropped out for various reasons.
Warner Bros will distribute.
