"Walk the Line" director James Mangold and his wife, producer Cathy Konrad, have set the Columbia Pictures remake "3:10 to Yuma" as the next film he'll direct reports Variety.
The original 1957 Western, starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin, is about a sheriff determined to bring a captured desperado to justice. Elmore Leonard wrote the short story on which it was based.
"Collateral" scribe Stuart Beattie rewrote scripts from Michael Brandt and Derek Haas. Shooting will begin this Summer. Mangold and Konrad are also at work on a remake of 1995 British thriller "Mute Witness", an adaptation of the Jim Kokoris novel "The Rich Part of Life", and the photography thriller "Follow Me".
