Reese Witherspoon has joined the cast of Atom Egoyan's true crime tale "Devil's Knot" says Deadline.


Witherspoon will play Pam Hobbs, the mother of a West Memphis Three murder victim, who initially believes the trio committed the crime. She is eventually is persuaded that they are innocent. The trio were exonerated from the 1993 murders this past August, after spending nearly two decades in prison.

Production begins this Summer.
