Single men of the world who are sick of seeing shocked faces on their dates when they say that they live at home -- this news bit is for you. Variety reports that Relativity Media outbid a collection of studios for a screenplay called The Low Dweller, by a new screenwriter, Brad Ingelsby. The 27-year-old is a grad from AFI who lives with his parents in Pennsylvania and works for his father's insurance business. Or, at least, he did. I imagine he quit once his script was picked up for $650,000 against $1.1 million.

That's not all! This seems to be such a hot script that there are already plans for Ridley Scott to direct and Leonardo DiCaprio to star -- possibly really soon. The film is said to need a brief 35-day shoot, so there is a chance that Ridley and Leo can squeeze it in somewhere.

The story focuses on a man named Slim (who DiCaprio would play). After serving a number of years in prison for murder, his lone goal upon release: to fulfill a promise and marry his "long-suffering girlfriend." However, he finds out that his brother has been murdered in some sort of gambling kerfuffle and feels that he must avenge his brother's death. The script is being compared to No Country for Old Men, so I'm betting you can expect something somber and gritty, with an underlying layer of humor.

Looks like Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio are quite fond of one another, as both men have decided to team up once again on a new thriller called The Low Dweller. This script is being touted as a cross between The History of Violence and No Country for Old Men, and when the latter flick wins an Oscar for best picture -- well, you bet your you know what this is gonna be a hot property. And indeed it is; apparently, the script comes from some "twentysomething working as an insurance salesman in Pennsylvania," so says The Hollywood Reporter. Dude was just a random guy, plugging away on a spec script, and, whaddya know, it sparked up a huge bidding war between Warner Bros. and Sony before Relativity Media came in and swiped it up for a crisp $650,000 against $1 million.

Not bad for an insurance salesman from Pennsylvania.

According to HR, the film is set in Indiana during the mid-1980s, and it "centers on a man (DiCaprio) trying to assimilate into society after he's released from jail, only to find someone from his past pursuing him to settle a score." They add that another male character and a female love interest are also involved in some way. Sounds like it could be good, but then again that description doesn't give you all that much. Scott and DiCaprio just wrapped up Body of Lies, and each will now head to another project (Leo on Shutter Island and Scott on Nottingham) before returning for this one.
