Mangold is set to direct an untitled drama about Patty Hearst, with Elle Fanning in talks to portray the notorious heiress-turned-left wing terrorist.
Although Mangold has also been toying with adaptations of Don Winslow’s The Force and Katherine Applegate’s children’s book Crenshaw, he’s making the Patty Hearst film his next project.
Variety reports that Mangold is re-teaming with Twentieth Century Fox for the untitled drama based on American Heiress, the best-selling book by Jeffrey Toobin.
Hearst emerged two years after her kidnapping: A tape of the heiress participating in armed robberies with the group led to her arrest.
