There was a whirlwind of news coverage when Jayson Blair got caught plagiarizing in The New York Times, but it was just before that when a colleague of his was caught doing the same thing. Michael Finkel was fired from the Times for plagiarism right before Blair, but his story is one that gets far more interesting after his dismissal. True Story is about a murder who used Finkel’s name as an alias and the strange events that transpired after the two came face-to-face. Look for it in theaters in April, unless North Korea is still pissed at James Franco.
