"Permanent Midnight" writer-director David Veloz has come aboard to direct Intermedia Films' "The D.J. Project" for Outlaw Prods, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Gary Lennon, the project is about a female disc jockey who wants to make it to the top of what is a predominately male field. She gets her break at a nightclub where a legendary male DJ works. While he's not keen on having her there, the two learn to collaborate and eventually fall in love.
Veloz is doing a polish on the script. Oulaw's Robert Newmyer, Jeffrey Silver and Scott Strauss are producing, with British DJ Paul Oakenfold co-producing.
The film will have a strong soundtrack component featuring hip-hop and electronic music.
The project is out to cast for a fall start in Miami and Ibiza, Spain.
