Oscar-winning French director to revisit infamous case of Tennessee novelist accused of murdering wife.
French director Jean-Xavier de Lestrade is set to make a third instalment of his popular real-life crime thriller, The Staircase, revolving around Tennessee novelist Michael Peterson who was accused of murdering his wife in 2001.
