Witherspoon Might Tell A "Good Lie"

Reese Witherspoon is in talks to star in the indie drama "The Good Lie" says Variety.

The story follows a young refugee of the Sudanese Civil War who wins a lottery for relocation to the United States with three other lost boys. They develop an unlikely friendship with a brash American woman assigned to help them, but the young man struggles to adjust to his new life and his feelings of guilt about the brother he left behind.

Philippe Falardeau ("Monsieur Lazhar") directs from a script by Margaret Nagle.

Molly Smith, Trent Luckinbill, Thad Luckinbill, Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Karen Kehela Sherwood will produce the film.
