Hello my friends.....thanks to all for bugging me, um, keeping me on my toes about this movie "The Wronged Man." Can't seem to stay on top of things lately for some reason!
The original November 2009 release has now been pushed to January 2010.
"The Wronged Man" will premiere Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 8:00 PM ET on Lifetime.
While I'm always a bit iffy with how film stuff turns out, I am excited to see this finished product. Lifetime is really changing up some of their content: I'm pretty sure this will not be your typical Lifetime chick-flick.
"Renowned actress Julia Ormond (Legends of the Fall, Sabrina) will headline The Wronged Man, an unforgettable story of justice and redemption.....Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (The 4400), Ormond’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button co-star, also joins the cast as an African-American husband and father convicted of raping a young girl. The film is based on the true story of an unlikely friendship between paralegal Janet Gregory (Ormond) and Calvin Willis (Ali) as they fight to overturn his sentence and restore faith in the justice system....
Janet Gregory (Ormond), a single-mother with a haunting past, is a paralegal struggling to overcome doubts about Calvin Willis (Ali), an African-American husband and father wrongfully accused of raping a neighborhood girl. Eventually convinced of his innocence, Janet takes Calvin’s pro bono case and wages a dramatic and stormy 22-year battle with the justice system that ultimately redeems an unjustly accused man and cements a life-long friendship."
Oh yeah, I play Vicky Tanner, the lawyer that makes the case for Willis. See? I did actually get to be a lawyer and I didn't even have to go to law school for it after all! :)
Love to all...
