Simon Rumley, the director behind 2010’s revenge thriller Red, White & Blue and The ABCs of Death‘s “P is for Pressure” segment, is set to helm FilmDistrict’s supernatural horror tale The Last Word, says a story at The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Ben Ketai and based on actual events, the horror film will focus on the strange and tragic aftermath endured by the participants in the trial of a young man in Texas who was wrongly convicted and executed for the rape and murder of a nun.
Boss Medias Frank Mancuso, Jr. will produce the project along with Eric Gores, Peter Facinelli and Rob DeFranco of A7SLE Films, and Peter Schlessel and Lia Buman on behalf of FilmDistrict. The project is slated to commence production this summer with plans for FilmDistrict to release the film domestically in 2014.
