News services are reporting that Paul Haggis, the Oscar winning writer-director of Crash and screenwriter behind Million Dollar Baby, is in talks to direct two other Oscar winners, Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron, in The Garden of Elah, about a career soldier whose son returns from the Iraq War and suddenly disappears. The story is based on an article by Mark Boal called "Death and Dishonor," which appeared in our May 2004 issue, that tells of an army veteran who discovers his serviceman son was killed by members of his own platoon following a violent tour of duty in Iraq. Haggis has already written the screenplay.
