“True Blood†star Stephen Moyer has signed on for the lead role of the “Devil’s Knot.â€
He will join the cast that already included Colin Firth, Reese Witherspoon and Alessandro Nivola.
The pic is based off Mara Leveritt’s 2003 book called “Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three.†The courtroom drama is about three teens founded guilty despite no physical evidence over a triple homicide in 1993.
The Atom Eyogen-directed film will begin immediately in order to fit around Moyer’s schedule for HBO’s “True Blood†series.
Moyer will appear in the films “The Barrens†and “Evidence†later this year.
