Director Michael Mann ("Heat") is in negotiations to direct "Fortune's Fool" for Universal Pictures, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Eric Bergquist, the project is set in Los Angeles and follows a crack informant who finds himself with a winning lottery ticket worth $84 million. But when his police buddies discover his find, they steal the ticket for themselves. Over the next 24 hours, before the ticket must be cashed in, the cops begin to double-cross one another as each one wants the jackpot for himself.
