Our favourite Bon Temps vampire will be getting tied up in the film alongside The King’s Speech star and Reese Whitherspoon.

The film will be adapted from the book Devil’s Knot: The True Story Of The West Memphis Three by Mara Leveritt, itself based on the real life story of the wrongfully convicted West Memphis Three. The “Three” in question were convicted in 1993 without evidence, only being released from prison last year. Moyer will be filling the shoes of prosecutor John Fogelman, joining a cast which includes Colin Firth, Reese Whitherspoon, and Aleesandro Nivola.

Deadline reports that shooting for Devil’s Knot will begin immediately, to fit around the actors commitment to True Blood. The film will be directed by Atom Eyogen, with no release date announced at the time of writing.

Are you looking forward to seeing Moyer in a non-vampire role?
