First up, Joe Berlinger, the co-director of the acclaimed "Paradise Lost" documentary trilogy, has come over to Foxto co-executive produce "Paradise Falls." Penned by Margaret Nagle (who is also working at CBS on a contemporary take on "Sense & Sensibility") the drama will center around a documentary filmmaker working for a crime reality series, who heads to the titular town in Pennsylvania to investigae a brutal slaying. What he uncovers is corruption and deceit and a town looking for its moment in the spotlight. No, it's not the West Memphis Three story exactly, but it's clearly inspired by Berlinger's work on those movies. And given that interest in the subject contiues to knock around thanks to the upcoming doc "West Of Memphis" and Atom Egoyan's dramatization "Devil's Knot," it's a pretty big no brainer why Fox picked this up.
