Jonah Hill and James Franco Star In First TRUE STORY Trailer

Fox Searchlight Pictures has released the chilling trailer for the upcoming movie TRUE STORY starring Jonah Hill, James Franco, Felicity Jones.

When disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel meets accused killer Christian Longo – who has taken on Finkel’s identity – his reporting job morphs into an unforgettable game of cat and mouse. Based on actual events, Finkel’s relentless pursuit of Longo’s true story encompasses murder, love, deceit, and redemption.

Longo was convicted of killing his wife and three children on the Oregon coast. The bodies of the four were recovered from two coastal inlets around Christmas 2001. Longo went on the lam, landing on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list before he was captured in Mexico posing as a travel writer.

Michael Finkel, the freelance writer Longo impersonated in Mexico, was later fired from The New York Times Magazine for fabricating a story about a young African worker. Finkel signed a deal to write a book that intertwined his firing and Longo’s case. (murderpedia.org)

The new movie is directed by Rupert Goold.

Set to premiere at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, TRUE STORY opens in theaters April 10.
