Drama chronicles the infamous Hollywood courtship between Johnny Stomp, a bodyguard and bagman for gangster Mickey Cohen, and movie star Turner. Their relationship ended when Turner's daughter, Cheryl Crane, stabbed Stompanato to death on April 4, 1958, in what was ruled justifiable homicide.
Pic would put Reeves back in the WB fold, where he has made "Constantine" and "The Matrix" pics. He'll next be seen in "A Scanner Darkly" and "Thumbsucker" and just completed "Il Mare" opposite Sandra Bullock. Zeta-Jones will next be seen with Antonio Banderas in "The Legend of Zorro."
