Matt Damon has reportedly decided on a script for his debut as a film director.
Deadline claims that Damon is interested in both starring in and helming the film attached to Matthew Aldrich's much-hyped script for Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses.
Warner Bros are in the process of finalising a deal for the rights to the script, after a heated bidding war in Hollywood that also involved offers from Paramount Pictures and Fox.
"The script is not high concept, it's a smallish, very personal, dark but playful road movie about a father and daughter," Aldrich said.
Warner Bros are also allegedly keen to produce the film through Damon's own production company Pearl Street.
The project will be Damon's first as director, although he both starred in and co-wrote the Academy Award-winning film Good Will Hunting in 1997.
Damon will next be seen in the Kenneth Lonergan drama Margaret, the Steven Soderbergh thriller Contagion and Cameron Crowe's new comedy We Bought a Zoo.
