Lifetime thirsts for more teen vampire and Robert Durst movies
Lifetime announced two new projects today that will cover the network’s old hallmarks: wronged women and hell-raising teens. First up is a film about Robert Durst, subject of HBO’s The Jinx. Durst is currently awaiting trial for the murder of Susan Berman, his confidante, but he was also once a suspect in his wife Kathy’s disappearance. You may recall that he seemed to confess to the murders during the filming of HBO’s documentary, but this new film won’t dramatize that off-camera moment. According to Deadline, it will follow the story through Kathy’s eyes, and borrow from Matt Birkbeck’s A Deadly Secret: The Bizarre And Chilling Story Of Robert Durst. Linda Berman (it’s not clear if there’s a relation) will produce with a script from Emmy nominee (for Bessie) Bettina Gilois.
