Owen Wilson no quiso tener nada que ver con una película que se inclina por la idea de que O. J. Simpson era inocente de los infames asesinatos del 94, rechazando una gran cantidad de dinero por el papel principal.

El director de la película parcialmente terminada -Joshua Newton- admite que pensó que Owen era perfecto para el papel del abogado Douglas McCann, pero dice que incluso ofreciéndole un cheque de $12 millones no pudo convencer a Owen a firmar.

Newton le dice a Rambling Reporter que las conversaciones inicialmente fueron bastante profundas con Owen sobre el papel de McCann, un abogado de la vida real que fue vinculado a varias teorías de conspiración durante el juicio penal de Simpson en 1995.

Newton tells Rambling Reporter talks initially went pretty deep with Owen about playing McCann ... a real-life attorney who got sucked into various conspiracy theories during Simpson's 1995 criminal trial.
