Robert Lorenz has signed on to direct The Broken.
The Trouble With the Curve director will be joined by Avatar's Sam Worthington as the producer of the drama, reports The Wrap.
Set in 1967's Oklahoma, the film centres around a man who discovers that his estranged son was killed in a homophobic attack.
He sets out on a mission to bring down the corrupt sheriff who was responsible for covering up the incident.
An unnamed Oscar winner is rumoured to be interested in The Broken's lead role, but no castings have been confirmed. The script derives from The Black List - strong screenplays which are not yet in the works.
Worthington will produce through his Full Clip Productions with partners Michael Schwarz and John Schwarz, and Ted Kroeber.
Lorenz is Clint Eastwood's longtime producing partner.

There is either a couple of football fans or Jerry Maguire/Moneyball with this year’s most liked unproduced screenplay. Close to 300 hundred film executives provided with the Black List creators a top ten of their favorite screenplays of the year and the consensus first overall pick (with 65 votes) comes from the recently featured in Variety (10 Screenwriters to Watch 2012) tandem of Rajiv Joseph & Scott Rothman and their drama which has nothing to do with enlisting in the armed forces. Draft Day – about the day in the life of a fictitious Buffalo Bills Gm appears to currently be in turnaround — which only means I expect to see this greenlight perhaps a little later than sooner – worth noting: top spot almost guarantees that the film will indeed go into production (2006, 2010 and 2011 are the exceptions.) Among the more alluring logline subjects we find on the list, I’d be keen on reading the...

Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant – a completely new project which will have an awesome cast on board. So make sure you remember this title!
We’ve just learned that Mark Feuerstein, Stanley Tucci, Marcia Gay Harden, Molly Shannon, Taye Diggs and Henry Winkler are all on board for this low-budget comedy which comes from director Sam Friedlander. Not bad at all, don’t you think?
Mike Sikowitz (probably best known as writer of 8 episodes of TV series “Friends”) wrote the script for this comedy so let’s guess that nothing could go wrong with the story. And the story will center on Feuerstein’s character, a womanizing, self-anointed ‘renegade’ male flight attendant Larry Gaye who must save the day when the airline he works for tries to eliminate flight attendants as a cost-cutting measure.
One thing is for sure, Feuerstein definitely looks excited about the whole thing, since he...
