Mimi Leder is set to direct Remember Their Names, a film scripted by her brother, Reuben Leder, about a young merchant marine’s tour of duty in WWII alongside Woody Guthrie.

The film story is based on Jim Longhi’s memoir “Woody, Cisco & Me.”

Mimi Leder recently directed the yet to be released Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas film Thick as Thieves.

She plans to also wear the hat of producer as well as Names will be shot in New York and Sicily.

Before Longhi became an attorney, politician and playwright, he enlisted in 1943 and crewed with Guthrie and folksinger Cisco Houston aboard Liberty ships.

Guthrie’s tunes are a big part of the story, as the trio (Woody, Cisco and Jim) sung and played their way across the Atlantic and Mediterranean to Sicily and then Normandy.
