Michael Shannon, one of the most reliable actors in the game, will take his turn behind the camera on the upcoming Eric Larue, according to a new Deadline report. The film is based on the play of the same name by Brett Neveu, who will adapt the script.
The plot of Eric Larue is all too timely. The film follows Janice, the mother of a 17-year-old who shot and killed three of his classmates. Per Deadline, “As Janice faces a meeting of the mothers of the other boys, and a long-delayed visit to her son in prison, the story becomes not about the violence but about what we choose to think and do in order to survive trauma.”
