DreamWorks Pictures has agreed to sell half of its stake in The Road to Perdition to Twentieth Century Fox. The film is understood to have evolved for two primary reasons: the budget brought by the talent was too high and the opportunity to release the DreamWorks principal Steven Spielberg from a film commitment to Fox, Reuters reports. The DreamWorks-originated gangster picture will be hemmed by Sam Mendes of American Beauty and star Tom Hanks, Paul Newman and Jude Law. The film is tentatively set for a spring 2002 release.
