Scott Foley has appeared in several successful series including ‘Scandal’, the medical comedy ‘Scrubs’, and the vampire series ‘True Blood’ . He also had a major role in Wes Craven’s 2000 sequel ‘Scream 3’. Now, Foley is making his return to the genre in the upcoming true crime film ‘Final Vision’ as real life killer Jeffrey MacDonald. ‘Final Vision’ is the first of a five-part true crime series from Investigation Discovery and Lincoln Square Productions.
In the film “MacDonald, who was convicted of brutally murdering his pregnant wife and two young daughters in the middle of the night. The television movie will be told through the eyes of bestselling author Joe McGinniss (Dave Annable, 666 Park Avenue) who was asked by MacDonald to write a book about his “personal nightmare” as he claimed he was falsely accused and was about to go on trial.
The film begins as a story about an innocent man being railroaded by a flawed legal system, then taking viewers through a twisted psychological thriller that exposes a sinister man, behind a charming and heroic facade. In real life, the MacDonald case is the longest-running criminal case in U.S. history.”
Written by Denis O’Neil, ‘Final Vision’ enters production later this month and will premiere in 2017.
