The 45-year-old actor has teamed up with Paramount Pictures to direct his first feature film based on James Ellroy's original screenplay 'L.A Confidential', although the script has been revised by David Matthews - who has worked on 'Narcos' and 'Boardwalk Empire' - according to Deadline. Leto confirmed the news on Twitter as he posted a link to the story confirming the news, which he captioned: " Jared Leto To Direct Thriller '77' For Paramount (sic)." The film is set in 1974 with a politically charged Los Angeles as its backdrop, and the plot follows two police officers on their mission to recover kidnapped heiress Patty Hearst, whilst also investigating the brutal murder of a fellow police officer.
