Julia Roberts will play PTA mom Kelli Peters in Framed. The true crime pic is based on Peters’ and Sam Rule’s book, “‘I’ll Get You!’ Drugs, Lies, and the Terrorizing of a PTA Mom.”
Peters was the subject of a recent six-part series by L.A. Times writer Christopher Goffard. Her life was nearly destroyed after being framed for drug possession by the parents of another child at her daughter’s elementary school in Irvine, Calif.
The actress has taken on maternal roles lately. In the recent “Mother’s Day,” Roberts played a woman who gave up her child at birth.
She’s currently shooting “Wonder,” an adaptation of R.J. Palacio’s book. Jacob Tremblay of “Room” plays her son.
