Doug Wright has already written a screenplay based on a lengthy New Yorker profile penned by Jonathan Harr ("A Civil Action").
Story concerns Willie Gary, who was one of 11 children in a family of migrant workers. He became a multimillionaire attorney, fighting for the working man against huge corporations. Pic will focus on a $500 million settlement he won for the owner of a small chain of funeral homes in Mississippi who sued a Canada-based conglom that dominates the industry.
Frears is repped by ICM.
