Walk the Line helmer James Mangold is attached to direct an untitled legal thriller for L.A.-based production and finance company Bold Films, reports Variety.

Mangold's wife, Cathy Konrad, is producing through their Treeline Films.

The script is based on the true story of a pair of New Orleans lawyer brothers who took on a multinational oil company and its heavyweight legal teams to rep the rights of the families of an oil rig that sank in a typhoon.

Sasha Jenson and Casey La Scala wrote the screenplay.

Mangold's directing credits also include 3:10 to Yuma, Identity, Kate & Leopold, Girl, Interrupted and Cop Land.

Potential here with Mangold at the helm, hopefully he gets two good actors as the brothers.

I like this guy

I watched Identity last night and really enjoyed it. I'll look forward to this.
