Having spent decades in limbo at Paramount Pictures, James Ellroy's crime thriller 77 is finally set to happen with Jared Leto reportedly directing.

This will be the actor's major directorial debut though it's unclear whether he will also star amongst the film's cast. 77 is set during the mid-70s in Los Angeles with two cops trying to recover kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst, and solve a fellow officer's murder.

Dick Wolf and Tony Ganz will produce, with David Matthews having re-written the screenplay adaption of James Ellroy's original work. There's no schedule or much elaboration on production for 77 other than Jared Leto directing.
