True Story is another movie to watch out for this week as James Franco reunites with fellow funny man Jonah Hill.

True Story

True Story

Franco and Hill have already starred together in the likes of This Is The End but now they leave the comedy behind for new film True Story - which is based on actual events.

Hill is set to play reporter Michael Finkel and Franco is on board as accused killer Christian Longo - who has taken Finkel's identity. In this great new clip the pair come face to face for the first time:

True Story is based on the memoir by Finkel and sees Rupert Goold making his feature film directorial debut as he makes the leap from television for the first time.

Felicity Jones is one of the most exciting young actresses around and she is also on board alongside Franco and Hill as Jill Barker.

It has been a very exciting year for Jones with her first Best Actress Oscar nomination for The Theory of Everything and this is her first film since that critically acclaimed performance at the beginning of the year.

When disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel (Hill) meets accused killer Christian Longo (Franco) - who has taken on Finkel's identity - his investigation morphs into an unforgettable game of cat-and-mouse.

Based on actual events, Finkel's relentless pursuit of Longo's true story encompasses murder, love, and deceit.

True Story is released 17th July.
