‘True Blood’ Star Luke Grimes Will Try to Kill Elvis in ‘The Shangri-La Suite’ (Exclusive)

Eddie O'Keefe will direct from a script he co-wrote with writing partner Chris Hutton

"True Blood" star Luke Grimes is in talks to check into "The Shangri-La Suite," an indie movie from the producers of "Little Miss Sunshine" that will mark the feature directorial debut of screenwriter Eddie O'Keefe.

Described as being in the vein of "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Natural Born Killers," the story follows two young lovers who break out of a mental hospital in 1974 and set out on a road trip to Los Angeles to fulfill the boy's lifelong dream of killing his idol Elvis Presley.

The King will appear as a supporting character whose partying days have taken their toll on his appearance and more importantly, his performances.
