 Brian Dennehy finds "Redemption" behind the camera

Reuters - Film, TV and stage star Brian Dennehy will make his big-screen directing debut with the fact-based drama "Redemption."

"Redemption" concerns Joyce Ann Brown -- who spent more than nine years in prison for a 1980 fur store robbery and murder in Dallas that she didn't commit -- and Jim McCloskey, a crusader for the wrongly convicted, who fought for her release.

Dennehy wrote the screenplay with Joe Seldner, who co-produced "61*" for HBO.

Dennehy won acclaim for his theater work in "Death of a Salesman" and "Long Day's Journey Into Night." He recently appeared in the films "Righteous Kill" and "Assault on Precinct 13" and has directed and written TV movies.
