From Hollywood Reporter:

Oscar winners Charlize Theron and Tommy Lee Jones are in discussions to topline Paul Haggis’ next feature film, an untitled mystery thriller that is serving as his directorial follow-up to his Academy Award-winning hit “Crash.” Warner Independent Pictures is co-financing and will distribute domestically. The story follows a veteran father in search of his son, an exemplary soldier who recently returned from Iraq and has mysteriously gone AWOL. The story is based on an investigative article by Mark Boal in Playboy titled “Death and Dishonor,” which told the true story about an officer-father who rejected the Army’s claim of AWOL status for his son and discovered a murder. Haggis fictionalized the elements and will direct from his original screenplay based on a story he wrote with Boal. Haggis is producing with Larry Becsey.
