Hollywood is at work on another film about the West Memphis Three, and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon has signed on for it, reports Variety.
Witherspoon will appear in Atom Egoyan's "Devil's Knot," an adaptation of Mara Leveritt's 2003 book. The actress is slated to play one of the murdered boy’s mothers, Pam Hobbs.Aside from Egoyan's project, there's also Peter Jackson's just-wrapped documentary about the case, called “West of Memphis." The dramatic story was also recently told via Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky’s "Paradise Lost" documentary series.
The West Memphis trio - Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley Jr. - were released in August after serving 18 years in prison on child murder convictions.
