British filmmaker Joshua Newton has cast rising British actress Charlotte Kirk (“Non-Stop”) to play Nicole Brown Simpson in “An American Mystery,” a $65 million thriller that will take a fair and balanced look at the O.J. Simpson saga.
It could be ready for release next summer, in time for the 20-year anniversary of the infamous 1994 crime.
A representative for Kirk told TheWrap that she is attached to the sure-to-be controversial project, which Newton will write and direct.
Kirk will portray Brown Simpson from when she first met the famous football star as an 18 year-old in 1977 to her untimely death alongside Ron Goldman.
