I wish that your title would have said "Michael" Peterson. Many people will think at first that it is yet another Scott Peterson movie. I will definitely be watching this movie. I also like Treat Williams and think that he is a good actor.

I did think it was Scott Peterson... But that did not make much sense because that case is sooo old it seemed odd that Lifetime just now would have a movie.

I tried to edit that after I posted it, but I couldn't! :doh: (Why not, I ask?) Maybe a moderator can?

Those dang Petersons and their murdering ways.

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but if memory serves me correctly, the Michael Peterson murder occurred prior to the Scott Peterson murder.

You may be correct but ...I think the trail was later???

 

[Jodibug]

I believe that the MP trial was before the SP trial..... of course it didn't get as much press.


I also thought this would be an SP thread.

Treat as Michael Peterson? Meh. They should have gotten John McGinley. Look at this photo...

Thanks for the heads-up on this movie.

I was glad to hear that Michael Peterson got beat up after he went to prison. Only wish Scott could have enjoyed the same, many times over..

I agree with you 100%, Buzz, as do some of the inmates at SQ.

Wow. John McGinley does look like Michael Peterson! I think that they picked Treat for his acting skills. However, it will be a little weird seeing him in the role.

The movie, based on the 2004 Aphrodite Jones book, "A Perfect Husband," is set to air April 15 on Lifetime Television and stars Treat Williams as Michael Peterson; Kevin Pollak as his attorney, David Rudolf, and Nina Jones as Kathleen Peterson.

I watched "The Staircase" documentary (biased!) and enjoyed it. I didn't read Aphrodite's book about this case though.

I do like Treat Williams! :blushing:

I have been seeing the previews for this. Looks good!

 

[Jeana (DP)]

That does sound good!

Yah! I've been waiting for weeks to see this movie, Lifetime has been advertizing it forever.

 

[PrayersForMaura]

so far, it's very very good. Were there two different Michael Petersons who committed murders??

 

[close_enough]

ugh..i forgot it was on & i even marked it on my calendar:banghead:

 

[BarnGoddess]

I'm watching.

My hubby watched with me, and he remembered me telling him a lot about it at the time.

The defense atty was not at all like the real Rudolph. I didn't hate this guy. LOL
