Hey! The Devil seems okay doesn’t he? Sure, some of his followers are a bit mental and go around killing people in his name and indulge in strange practises while praising him… just like Roman Catholics without the whole ‘child buggering’ thing.
Anyway, Reese Witherspoon has signed on to star in Devil’s Knot. That’s a forthcoming drama about the funny feeling Satan gets in his stomach when he sees a girl he fancies.
Actually, it isn’t. It’s much darker than that. In fact, it’s about murder and the only thing more sickened and twisted than the goat boy himself… THE AMERICAN LEGAL SYSTEM.
That’s right!
It seems that our Reese hates those light-hearted films to pieces. On the back of doing Water for Elephants (starring human creosote, Robert Pattinson), romcom How Do You Know? and festive filum, Four Christmases, she’s decided to do something that… *gasp*may actually be interesting.
The film concerns the ‘West Memphis Three’ who were tried and convicted of the murders of three boys in Arkansas (pronounced ‘Ark And Sass’) in ’93.
If you remember (which you won’t because you’ve sniffed too many aerosols), it was a rather high profile trail which saw the prosecution pointing at some children and saying that they were killed as part of a satanic ritual.
Reese will play Pam Hobbs (Russell’s wife) who is the mother of one of the victims who initially believed the trio murdered her son before being persuaded that they are innocent and wrongly accused.
Nope. Us neither.
Distressingly, this story also features Eddie Vedder as he was championing a cause relating to this whole thing. We can’t be bothered to check, so we’ll just assume the bozo was campaigning for Satan.
Nice one.

Who the hell decided that the name of the website needed to cover an entire 900 x 216 banner across the top of the page? Is this the first time that person has ever used the Internet?
