Overview

Now a major motion picture from Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment, starring Jonah Hill and James Franco The shocking true tale of a bizarre and intense relationship-a reporting job that morphed into a shrewd game of cat-and-mouse involving a disgraced journalist and an FBI Most Wanted Murderer living under the journalist's name. Part mystery, part memoir, part mea culpa, True Story weaves a spellbinding tale of murder, love, and deceit with a deeply personal inquiry into the slippery nature of truth, involving a disgraced former contributor for the New York Times and a man who killed his entire family and then posed as the reporter himself.
