I did a search for this and nothing came up, pretty interesting premise:

Fox Searchlight Pictures and Regency Enterprises have released the first photos from True Story, the Rupert Goold-directed film based on the book by Michael Finkel.

In the film, opening in select theaters on April 10, 2015, when disgraced New York Times reporter Michael Finkel (Jonah Hill) meets accused killer Christian Longo (James Franco) – who has taken on Finkel’s identity – his investigation morphs into an unforgettable game of cat-and-mouse. Based on actual events, Finkel’s relentless pursuit of Longo’s true story encompasses murder, love, deceit and redemption.

Felicity Jones co-stars in the film, produced by Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Anthony Katagas, and executive produced by Brad Pitt and Arnon Milchan.

Trailer is pretty good:

Solid Snake

Looks good. Knowing how those 2 act with each other I'm guessing it was interesting set to play in. If not wonderfully awkward due to the subject matter.

The Bus

Saw this tonight. Pretty well done and interesting to see it match the zeitgeist with Serial and Jinx. Felicity Jones has a great scene near the end of the film as well.

Watched this tonight. I thought on the whole the film was mediocre, but there were several standout scenes. I also think Jonah Hill was miscast. His character just doesn't mesh with Hill's look and persona. They should have cast someone with more of a dramatic background. And yes I say that well aware that Hill has been nominated for Oscars on two occasions. Those characters worked, this one did not.

I think I'm going to check this out this weekend.
