Trio to remake RKO film noir
Michael Douglas (King of California), Amber Tamblyn (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2) and Jesse Metcalfe (ABC's Desperate Housewives) signed on to star in Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, a Peter Hyams-directed remake of an RKO film noir. The story centers on an overzealous reporter (Metcalfe) who frames himself for murder in order to point out the dangers of circumstantial evidence and to try to show that a district attorney (Douglas) is manipulating evidence in order to gain convictions. It all goes fine until a friend of the reporter's - the only person who can exonerate him - is also killed.
