Following “The Great”, “Maleficent” actress Elle Fanning will star in the reality adaptation of “The Girl From Plainville.”
Adapted from “The Girl From Plainville” from an article published by Jesse Barron describing true crime in 2014.
At that time, 18-year-old Conrad Roy was found in the truck, died of carbon monoxide poisoning, suffered from depression and had a record of suicide attempts, so the police initially judged him to be suicide.
Unexpectedly, during the investigation, the police found that his girlfriend Michelle Carter repeatedly advocated her suicide in phone calls or text messages, and Michelle was eventually charged with manslaughter.
Elle Fanning will play the heroine, a text-based suicide case that will focus on the two people’s extraordinary relationship, how she eventually abets the other party to commit suicide and faces court.
Fanning is not only the heroine, but also the producer. The news of the adaptation of the play has become a hot topic. It can be seen that the case was still highly concerned by the public at that time.
The reason why this incident was so sensational at the time was because he touched on the topic of “whether words are a killing weapon”.
I don’t know if this new drama will reveal some unknown details of this case, hopefully the film will give us the answer.
