Dustin Hoffman is breaking new ground with his latest movie. For the first time, he'll be dishing out the directions, instead of following them, from behind the camera. Well, sort of.

Disney has picked up Personal Injuries, a Scott Trow novel about a lawyer who wins his cases by bribing the judges presiding over them, for Hoffman to both direct and star in. Gives a whole new meaning to the term split personality, now doesn't it?
