Screenwriter Billy Ray has according to Variety been tapped to pen The Ballad of Richard Jewell starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill.
Ray will base the screenplay on Marie Brenner's 1997 Vanity Fair article – The Ballad of Richard Jewell, which recounts the story and events of the hero who discovered a backpack with a bomb during the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and was subsequently vilify after becoming a suspect.
Jonah Hill will play the Jewel role while DiCaprio will play the role of Jewel's lawyer, a Southern attorney who mostly did real estate closings and seemed in over his head, but he guided Jewel through a hellish Twilight Zone that went on even after the FBI officially cleared Jewel's name.
