Filmmaker Todd Haynes has been roped in to direct Participant Media's "Dry Run".

The film is based on the New York Times Magazine article about the lawyer who took on the chemical company DuPont, reported Variety.

Participant and Mark Ruffalo are producing the film from a rewrite by Mario Correa. Matthew Carnahan had penned the first draft.

Based on Nathaniel Rich's New York Times Magazine article "The Lawyer Who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare," the film revolves around Robert Bilott, who had been practicing as a corporate defense attorney for eight years when he took on an environmental lawsuit against the chemical company DuPont.

The suit turned into a battle exposing a decades-long history of chemical pollution.
