9 Upcoming Movie Passion Projects You Aren't Ready For

4. The Ballad Of Richard Jewell

Somehow, the prospect of Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill teaming up again after The Wolf Of Wall Street has flown somewhat under the radar, but it's coming thanks to Hill's desire to tell a very important story.

Hill has been attached to an adaptation of the story of Richard Jewell since 2014 as a producer and wants to tell the tale of the security guard who was accused of being a suspect in the 1996 Olympics bombing, who he will star as himself.

Captain Phillips screenwriter Billy Ray is writing the script, DiCaprio is producing and also co-starring and O.J.: Made in America director Ezra Edelman will helm. It certainly has the potential for Oscar attention and besides all that, it's a story that absolutely deserves to be told. Credit to Hill for pushing through on his desire to tell it.
