Ridley Scott and Leonardo DiCaprio are re-teamomg for newcomer Brad Ingelsby's spec script thriller "The Low Dweller" for Relativity Media reports the trades.

Set in Indiana in the mid-1980s, the movie centers on Slim (DiCaprio) trying to assimilate back into society after he's released from jail.

His attempts to get back on track, including plans to marry his long-suffering girlfriend, he discovers that his loser brother has been murdered after getting involved in a seedy midwestern gambling racket.

While Slim did time for a murder he couldn't avoid, he decides he can't skip out on his obligation to avenge his brother's murder. Scott and DiCaprio will produce the film, with DiCaprio attached to star and Scott eyeing to direct.

DiCaprio and Scott just wrapped the geopolitical thriller "Body of Lies" for Warners due out later this year. DiCaprio has Martin Scorsese's period thriller "Shutter Island" and Ridley Scott is prepping the Russell Crowe-led Robin Hood romance "Nottingham" for Universal.
