The film received a plethora of accolades, including a Best Original Screenplay Oscar nomination for Gilroy.
According to the latest reports, he’s hoping to join forces with none other than acting great Denzel Washington.
Per Variety, Washington has been Gilroy’s number one choice for the part for a while, suggesting that Gilroy wrote the screenplay with Washington in mind.
Washington has played a lawyer before, most notably in 1993’s Philadelphia, so the role would be right in his wheelhouse as a performer.
