Julia Roberts eyes courtroom drama Train Man

Julia Roberts could be stepping into the courtroom for real-life legal drama “Train Man”.

According to Variety, “Roberts would play a lawyer tasked with defending Darius McCollum, the criminal (and Internet celebrity) known for impersonating public transit authorities in order to drive away subway trains and Greyhound buses. McCollum, who is diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome, has been arrested more than 25 times for such crimes.”

Roberts would play his most recent lawyer and could potentially also produce.

Simon Stephenson penned the script. A director hasn’t been found yet.
