One of society’s unanswered questions: Did O.J. do it?
British filmmaker Joshua Newton is set to write and direct the film about one of America’s biggest high profile unsolved double homicides.
Titled An American Mystery, the film is set to provide audiences with a new perspective on the case and allow them to make judgments for themselves.
According to Newton, O.J. Simpson himself has expressed a desire to be involved with the project.
“An American Mystery has the capacity to challenge entrenched attitudes on a topic that has inspired visceral reactions for almost a generation,” said Newton. “While we are creating an artistic work, the essence of the film is the search for truth. It was easy to determine that OJ’s participation is not consistent with our standards. Our goal is to lay bare the facts and have the audience reach their own conclusions,” he added.
Although Simpson was acquitted of the double homicide, the controversy is far from over.
Newton says that he will present newly-discovered facts, though details remain secret for now.
Executive producers for the film include former NBA star Bo Kimble and Diane Watson, the former U.S. Representative for California’s 33rd Congressional district.
An American Mystery will present several other suspects with both motive and opportunity, resulting in a debate about who committed the crime.
Did he really do it? The world may never know.
