Leonardo DiCaprio Fires up his Proxy
By James Wray Nov 5, 2004, 17:18 GMT
Leonardo DiCaprio is set to produce and star in an untitled action thriller focusing on the growing global phenomenon of mercenaries used by governments and companies to wage proxy wars.
Politically active DiCaprio came up with the idea of mixing a thriller with the cautionary theme of outsourcing war. The concept was developed by Peter Landesman, a foreign correspondent and senior reporter of the New York Times Magazine, and Appian Way president Brad Simpson.
Scott Burns has been set to write the script. He also wrote The Informant, a true story thriller about a corporate whistleblower. The Informant will star Matt Damon and be directed by Steven Soderbergh early next year.
