Dimension Signs West Memphis Three

In 1993, three teens from Arkansas were convicted for the murder of 3 eight-year-old boys. Nicknamed the ‘West Memphis Three’, their case has been an ongoing cause of controversy, with many people believing in their innocence. And rightfully so: they were charged with being in a satanic cult, because they read Stephen King novels and head-banged to Metallica albums. There were several investigation mishaps, problematic confessions, and zero physical evidence linked to them.

A book called “The Devil’s Knot: The True Story of the West Memphis Three”, written by Mara Leveritt, is being adapted into a movie by Dimension Pictures. According to Variety, Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman (Exorcism of Emily Rose) will write the screenplay, with Derrickson also set to direct.

The subject matter has been turned into an HBO documentary series, but a big-screen venture will reach a wider audience. The boys are still in jail, with one of them on death row. For more information on their sketchy case, click here.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THIS MOVIE IS DUE FOR RELEASE.I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. THESE MEN ARE INNOCENT WITHOUT ANY DOUBT IN MY MIND. FREE THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE EVEN IF YOU CAN'T ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR OWN ERRORS. THE SAD STORY OF 3 EIGHT YEAR OLDS BEING MURDERED IS BAD ENOUGH ,BUT TO CONTINUE TO INCARCERATE THESE INNOCENT MEN IS JUST DOWN RIGHT DISGUSTING. I GET A HEADACHE THINKING THAT THIS WAS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN IN THE USA. YOU CAN'T TELL ME THERE IS EDUCATED LAWYERS OUT THERE THAT DON'T SEE THIS FOR THE INJUSTICE IT IS AND WOULDN'T THEY TRY EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO CORRECT THIS IF THIS IS THE PROFESSION THEY HOLD SO HIGH. GET MOVING AND GET DAMIEN,JESSIE,AND JASON WHERE THEY BELONG,ON THE STREETS AS FREE US CITIZENS!!!!!!!!!!!!
