Devil's Knot by Mara Leveritt7/1/2023 ![]() ![]() Joining a star-studded cast that already includes Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon and Alessandro Nivola are Matt Letscher of ABC's Scandal, Michael Gladis of Mad Men, and Bruce Greenwood, who recently wrapped production on Derek Cianfrance's much-anticipated drama The Place Beyond the Pines. His film of the same name will star Colin Firth as private investigator Ron Lax, whose tireless efforts uncovered troubling details about the case that ultimately led to the release of Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr., and Jason Baldwin after 18 years in prison. Still, Atom Egoyan was more inspired than intimidated by the West Memphis 3 story, so the writer-director who has spun real life tragedy into compelling dramas with The Sweet Hereafter and Ararat is helming an adaptation of their story as told by Mara Leveritt's best-selling true crime book, Devil's Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three. ![]()
