According to Variety, Dimension Films has acquired the Mara Leveritt book DEVIL'S KNOT: THE TRUE STORY OF THE WEST MEMPHIS THREE, and set Scott Derrickson and Paul Harris Boardman to pen the script, with Derrickson to direct.

Drama centers on an infamous Arkansas murder case that ended with the conviction of three teens based largely on their alleged fascination with the occult.

Three children were savagely murdered in 1993. Weeks later, police announced the arrest of three teens accused of committing the murders as part of a satanic cult ritual.

Among the evidence presented against the suspects to show their dark states of mind were posters of the rock band Metallica and books by Anne Rice and Stephen KingStephen King.

Despite an outcry for a retrial and two HBO documentaries about the case that suggest plausible suspects were overlooked for political reasons, the three have remained in jail for more than a decade, including one who's on death row.
