A drama centered around the relationship between journalist Michael Finkel and Christian Longo, an FBI Most Wanted List murderer who for years lived outside the U.S. under Finkel’s name.
I haven’t had a shred of desire to see The Interview. There is no room for another Rogen/Franco bro-com in my life, no matter the setting or controversial circumstance. True Story looks really great though.
The movie stars James Franco, Jonah Hill, and one of my favorite breakout actors, Felicity Jones (SEE: Breathe In). The story is, you guessed it, based on true happenings just wild enough to adapt into a film.
Hill’s recent foray into the role of “serious actor” has given me an entirely new outlook on his career. He’s really quite good. I think this could be the film that opens him up to truly serious roles. I hope it does.
