Dark Waters (2019)

[Cremildo]

"The Carol helmer is set to direct Participant Media’s Dry Run, a movie based on the New York Times Magazine article about the lawyer who took on the chemical company DuPont.

Participant and Mark Ruffalo are producing the pic from a rewrite by Mario Correa. Matthew Carnahan penned first draft. Sources say Ruffalo is also considering starring in the film, but negotiations have yet to begin.

Based on Nathaniel Rich’s New York Times Magazine article The Lawyer Who Became DuPont’s Worst Nightmare, the untitled film centers around Robert Bilott, who had been practicing as a corporate defense attorney for eight years when he took on an environmental lawsuit against the chemical company DuPont. The suit turned into a battle exposing a decades-long history of chemical pollution." SOURCE
