8 Upcoming Films Based on Shocking True Crimes

In the early '80s, a group of young men formed the "Billionaire Boys Club" in Los Angeles, where they used a Ponzi scheme to get rich quick. Alongside seasoned actors like Kevin Spacey, the upcoming film is replete with emerging young talent — Ansel Elgort (The Fault in Our Stars) plays Joe Hunt, the group leader and financial expert, and Emma Roberts stars as Sydney, Hunt's love interest. Taron Egerton, Billie Lourd, and Suki Waterhouse also star in the film. If you want an early look at the plot, check out the 1987 version, which (disturbingly) inspired the Menendez brothers to murder their parents.
