Producers include Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger, alongside Guymon Casady, Benjamin Forkner and Ken F. Levin. Collins is an executive producer, while Jane Spillane co-produces.
Carin Sage oversees the film for Skydance.
McConaughey is represented by WME and Yorn Levine. Pizzolatto is repped by WME, Gillett Management and Eric Brooks of Goodman Genow.
Deadline was first to report on the project.
More to come.
