Jonah Hill and James Franco get very serious in this trailer for True Story.

True Story is an upcoming 2015 American legal drama film directed by Rupert Goold and written by David Kajganich. The film is about Mike Finkle (Jonah Hill), a journalist who crosses paths with a man (James Franco) who’s accused of murdering his family.

After the man claims to be Mike Finkle whose who’s real name is Christian Longo, Hill’s character is pulled into a winding, possibly deadly mystery. Judging from the trailer, the whole ordeal looks pretty intense. Of course, he does happen to be a convicted murderer, so things eventually take a dark turn.

True Story will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January and opens in theaters April 10, 2015.
