Based on John Kaye's book, the story deals with the strange death of I Fought the Law singer Bobby Fuller
The 23-year-old Fuller died a week after his song became a hit in 1966 and was ruled a suicide. This, despite his body being found battered and having had gasoline poured down his throat.
The drama follows a grieving screenwriter who sets out on a crusade to solve the mystery of Fuller's death.
Hall will play a corrupt, wheelchair-bound manager of the dead musician. Marsden will play Charles Manson and Leo will play a Manson Family matriarch who tells the writer the answers may be found in 16 mm snuff films buried in Death Valley.
Really intrigued by the notion of Marsden playing Manson--Given his nice guy everyman quality
Michael Shannon was also linked to the project but his reps say scheduling conflicts have forced him out of the pic
The book is being adapted by Adam Davenport and Kaye. Davenport is going to make his directorial debut on the film
John Palermo will produce for a Summer start
