Directed by Rupert Goold and based on Michael Finkel’s 2006 memoir, True Story is about Finkel discovering that the man responsible for killing his family, Christian Longo, had been captured in Mexico and would only speak to Finkel, who had just been fired from the New York Times for falsifying information in an article. Franco plays Longo while his This is the End co-star Jonah Hill plays Finkel, and it co-stars Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything).
