Lifetime Will Update Its Amanda Knox Movie, Which Airs Tuesday

Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italia Since Amanda Knox's Italian murder conviction continues to be overturned, Lifetime is racing to update its TV movie, Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italia. Like a stroke of luck for Lifetime, the cable network had already scheduled a re-airing from the film on Tuesday, October 4. Now Lifetime is likely to rapidly give a new brief opening towards the movie, an "epilogue" of sorts detailing Monday's news, in addition to a new coda how the brand new trial finishes. Amanda Knox Freed, Murder Conviction Overturned Lifetime initially opened the questionable movie, which stars Hayden Panettiere as Knox (a united states who had been initially charged of killing her roommate in Italia), on Feb 21. The funnel and also the movie's producers were belittled by both Knox's lawyers and also the group of victim Meredith Kercher after promotions incorporated moments of Kercher being attacked. Amanda Knox didn't air in Italia because of legal reasons, as Knox's situation was ongoing at that time. Most probably, since the situation is closed, the film might finally be proven there. (Associates say there is no intends to screen the film in Italia at this time, however, as some legal loose finishes remain.) Last winter Amanda Knox executive producer Craig Piligian told TV Guide Magazine the producers ensured to not take sides within the debate over Knox's guilt or innocence. "Everyone's divided, and also the viewing public will probably be divided too,Inch Piligian stated at that time. "That is what makes this this type of great story." Audiences may have several chances to trap Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial in Italia within the next couple of days. Besides Tuesday's airing on Lifetime, sister funnel Lifetime Movie Network will screen it on Thursday. Next, speculation has begun which news organization might land the exclusive first interview with Knox. ABC and NBC are seen as the early management, as both news divisions happen to be on the top from the Knox story for a while. Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!
