(Tami Chappell/Reuters)The true crime thriller "Lonely Hearts," starring John Travolta, James Gandolfini and Salma Hayek, has been picked up for U.S. theatrical distribution by Roadside Attractions and Samuel Goldwyn Films.

The firms, currently in theaters with "Amazing Grace," plan to release the film April 13. Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release it on DVD in late summer/early fall.

Screenwriter-director Todd Robinson based the film on an investigation by his grandfather, Detective Elmer C. Robinson (Travolta), into an infamous serial killing spree by "Lonely Heart Killers" Martha Beck (Hayek) and Raymond Fernandez ( Jared Leto). Gandolfini will play Robinson's partner Charles Hildebrandt, Scott Caan will play another detective on the case, and Laura Dern will play a co-worker having an affair with Robinson.

Leonard Kastle's 1970 cult classic "The Honeymoon Killers" and Arturo Ripstein's 1996 Spanish-language film "Deep Crimson" (Profundo Carmesi) also covered the tale. Martin Scorsese was fired from "Killers" after a week on the job.
