The film will be an adaptation of the book by Scott Turow. "It’s based on a book I bought myself, ‘Personal Injuries’ by Scott Turow. It’s about a personal-injury lawyer, also known as an ambulance chaser," said Hoffman.
Hoffman hopes to release the film in North American theatres next June. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, in which Hoffman co-stars with Natalie Portman, will open in theatres in November.
