Trailer for 'True Story'; A New Jonah Hill / James Franco Film...and it's a Drama
Sun, December 21, 2014 Rummaging through the daily Hollywood news scene - or lack thereof during the Holidays - I came across this new trailer that's just been released for a film starring Jonah Hill and James Franco.
Now you probably assume reading that sentence that it's some sort of comedy or satire based upon the type of films these two usually team up for - but in this case - it's actually a full fledged drama, and from the looks of it, a pretty damn interesting one.
True Story is centered around actual events involving disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) who meets accused killer Christian Longo (James Franco) - after taking on Finkel's identity - to uncover the truth behind the murder of Longo's wife and children, leading him on a path deceit and redemption.
This certainly looks to be a change of pace for both Hill and Franco in terms of what we usually see the duo in, but for Hill specifically, it's his first drama since last year's The Wolf of Wall Street (which earned him his 2nd Oscar nomination).
Felicity Jones (likely Oscar nominee for this year's The Theory of Everything) also stars.
True Story is set for release sometime in 2015.
Sound off of what you think of the trailer below.
