Jonathan Abrams penned the script.
The story is set during a murder trial where one of the jurors slowly realizes he killed the victim in a reckless driving accident tries to save the defendant without incriminating himself.
In typical Eastwood fashion, the Oscar-winner had been weighing several scripts and in recent months zeroed in on this film and began having talks with A-list talent to star finally landing on Hoult as the ideal actor for titular role and Collette for the district attorney. Hoult and Collette are as busy as any actor in town and needed some scheduling out before he could commit but with insiders now saying that’s been sorted, all things are headed in the direction of a closed deal.
