DiCaprio & Scott eyeing THE LOW DWELLER
Pennsylvanian insurance salesman Brad Ingelsby sells his first script in Hollywood for big bucks, and gets BODY OF LIES duo Leo DiCaprio & Ridley Scott on board!
Pennsylvanian insurance salesman Brad Ingelsby is going to be a very happy guy this weekend. Burning the midnight oil night after night after a gruelling and exhausting nine to five job, Ingelsby has incredibly sold his first script in Hollywood, selling his thriller The Low Dweller for $650,000 against $1.1 million to Relativity Media after a huge bidding war. It's his first interaction with Hollywood and it's unknown as to whether he has given up or will give up his day job. It gets better too.

After seeing Scott come back to greatness with American Gangster in October, he's back to being a director who I just anxiously await every project. I'm really hoping he decides to go for his Nottingham movie next, a script he said was as epic as Gladiator. Until then, we have a DiCaprio and Crowe teaming to get excited for. Here's the first and to date only image from that upcoming thriller...
