Lurie (“Deterrence,” “The Contender”) told me he’s busily prepping a new indie feature film – one without so much as a single presidential character, natch – called “Resurrecting the Champ” with Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Hartnett both in negotiations to star.

Harnett is in talks to play a 30-year-old L.A. Times sports reporter whose hunger for a reputation-making Big Story leads him to track down a homeless vagrant he believes was once a famous prizefighter.
