Robert Altman, whose A Prairie Home Companion was released by Picturehouse, is close to teaming with the distributor again for his next project, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Altman and writer Stephen Harrigan are developing a script inspired by the events depicted in S.R. Bindler's 1997 documentary HANDS ON A HARD BODY: THE DOCUMENTARY, which recounted a Texas endurance contest that offered a new Nissan Hardbody truck as the prize. The last person left standing with a hand on the truck got to take it home.

Altman has wanted to direct the project for years and now says it will be his next film.
