Reeves and Zeta-Jones to star in 'Stompanato' story
Keanu and Catherine are in talks to appear in a dark Hollywood biopic for director Adrian Lyne.
Aug 25 2005
Keanu Reeves and Catherine Zeta-Jones are in talks to star in 'Stompanato', the story of actress Lana Turner's relationship with bodyguard and sometime gangster Johnny Stompanato.
The drama will revolve around the pair's controversial courtship, which ended when Turner's daughter, 14-year-old Cheryl Crane, stabbed Stompanato to death in April 1958.
Courts ruled the death 'justifiable homicide' but rumours persist that there is more to the case than meets the eye.
Based on a script by David and Janet Peoples ('12 Monkeys') the film will be directed by Adrian Lyne, who knows a thing or two about doomed relationships on the big-screen having directed both 'Fatal Attraction' and 'Unfaithful'.
The film is due to go into production in January. Before then, Reeves will be seen in Mike Mills' 'Thumbsucker' and Richard Linklater's 'A Scanner Darkly', while Zeta-Jones appears in swashbuckling sequel 'The Legend of Zorro', which hits UK screens in September.
