A movie based on a book about the slaying of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl is scheduled to begin filming in the fall.
Beacon Pictures has signed Josh Lucas for the starring role. Kip Williams, who directed “Door in the Floor,” will helm the as-yet-untitled movie.
The film is based on the book “Who Killed Daniel Pearl?” in which French author Bernard-Henri Levy details his one-year investigation into the circumstances behind Pearl’s kidnapping and slaying in Pakistan in 2002.
