A movie about Sebold's Syracuse rape is nonexistent after this development.
's movie adaptation about her 1981 Syracuse rape has utterly fallen apart in the wake of the exoneration of the man she accused -- and one of the film's stars is out too.-- who has a leading role in"You" -- is no longer associated with the project,"Lucky," which was set to depict the plot of Sebold's 1999 memoir of the same name ... this according to.
In addition to losing Pedretti's acting talents ... the project has lost all of its financing, which had apparently been crumbling in the months leading up to Monday's incredible news., was fully exonerated last week after one of the former EPs attached to the"Lucky" movie dug into the facts of the story ... this after having suspicions about the script and its source material.
Here's the crazy thing ... the truth appears to have been hiding in plain sight. What put Broadwater away for over 15 years was Sebold's on-the-stand testimony that he'd raped her in '81, plus microscopic hair analysis which has since been debunked as illegitimate science.
She notified the cops and they canvased the area, picking up Broadwater for fitting the general description. Sebold is said to have failed to pick him out of a lineup shortly thereafter -- zeroing in on another Black man -- but somehow, Broadwater became the prime suspect.Once he was face to face with her in court that following year, she definitively said it was him ... and the rest is history. He was released from prison in '99, and has had a rough go since.
Sebold hasn't commented on Broadwater's exoneration -- but she has since been seen out after the news broke. Seems like the abandonment of her would-be film says enough.
