Two-time Emmy winner and "Million Dollar Baby" screenwriter Paul Haggis will write and direct a new boxing drama, employed once again by Warner Bros. Pictures, Variety reports. In addition to this project (which will be called "Death and Dishonor"), Mr. Haggis has several other projects underway, including "Flags of Our Fathers," for which he’ll reunite with Clint Eastwood. Haggis also recently directed an indie flick entitled "Crash," which stars Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon and William Fichtner. Lions Gate Films has "Crash" penciled in for a May ’05 release.
