ORLANDO -- The latest drama regarding Casey Anthony has nothing to do with new developments in her trial.
Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh has reportedly created a play based on the case, called “Tot Mom,” the Orlando Sentinel reported Thursday.
The play, based on the tragic events surrounding the death of Casey’s 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, is said to open in mid-December at the Sydney Theater Company in Australia.
The company putting on the play said Soderbergh uses excerpts from transcripts of Nancy Grace’s show, court documents and police reports, so he will not have to compensate anyone.
Soderbergh won an Academy Award for directing the 2000 film “Traffic.” He also directed “Erin Brockovich,” the 2001 remake of “Ocean’s Eleven” and its sequels. His most recent film, “The Informant!” opened in September.
