Brad Furman will finally get behind the camera on a feature film about Colombian drug cartel kingpin Pablo Escobar, Deadline said.
The Lincoln Lawyer director has long sought a way into a biopic of Escobar and now has Inside Llewyn Davis star Oscar Isaac aboard for the lead role, which is based on the Black List script by Matt Aldrich.
Isaac will be in a lot of conversations before and after that Coen brothers pic comes out December 6.
Relativity Media is the distributor and will sell the project in Cannes.
Filming begins in September in Colombia.
