_DON GROVES__ is a Deadline contributor based in Sydney._ EXCLUSIVE: Oscar Isaac and Max Minghella are attached to play brothers in _Memorial Day_, a 1980s-set crime drama from Australian
writer-director Kieran Darcy-Smith. Ted Hope and Aquarius Films’ Angie Fielder will produce the saga of the Hispanic brothers who struggle to redress the fallout from a family tragedy. The
aim is to shoot in Florida next year. Darcy-Smith tells Deadline the financing will be finalized after a third key role is cast. It’s one of three projects he’s juggling as a follow-up to
his debut feature _Wish You Were Here_, which eOne will launch in the U.S. in early 2013, aiming to capitalize on Joel Edgerton’s profile after _Zero Dark Thirty_ and in the lead-up to the
debut of _The Great Gatsby_. Darcy-Smith also is attached to direct Matt Cook’s 2009 Black List script _By Way of Helena_, which follows a Texas Ranger and his Mexican bride who investigate
mysterious deaths, for Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Also on his slate is a romance, title under wraps, for the Mark Gordon Co. Darcy-Smith met Hope in 2009 at a
Screen NSW workshop when _Wish You Were Here_ was in development. Darcy-Smith has completed the screenplay of the sequel to _Tomorrow, When the War Began_, based on the second and third of
John Marsden’s novels, for producer Andrew Mason and OmniLab Media, but he won’t direct that film. RELATED: eOne Buys Joel Edgarton Pic ‘Wish You Were Here’ At Sundance
