According to Variety, Gary Ross is attached to direct, and Danny Strong will write the script.
Maguire would play Jack Greenberg, who, as an idealistic lawyer fresh out of law school, joined with NAACP Legal Defense Fund head and future Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall to win a Supreme Court case that ruled segregation in American schools illegal.
The project, based on Greenberg's memoirs "Crusaders in the Courts," was originally developed by Cooper at New Line. That studio let it go after New Line was absorbed by Warner Bros.Ross will next direct Universal drama "The Free State of Jones," about rebellion in Mississippi during the Civil War and Reconstruction.
No production date has been set.

Err
i never cared for tobey maguire, maybe thats why i didnt enjoy the spiderman movies as much as everyone else.
something about him just bothers me, and its not the story about him bringing his personal chef to a restaurant so the chef could prepare his food for him, i dont even know if that story is true.
he just looks like a douche to me.

Good. This is more appropriate material for McGuire than Spiderman movies...(Spiderman Franchise Reboot Warning...Initialiazing) Let a new, unknown actor takeover S4.
