\n\tAmanda Knox becomes an easy target in the official trailer for The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox<\/em>, the upcoming limited series from Hulu. Set to premiere on Aug. 20, the show recounts a dramatized version of the murder trial Knox faced in which she was wrongfully convicted following the death of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. <\/p>\n \n\tIn the trailer, Grace Van Patten stars as Knox during her days as a bright-eyed student studying abroad in Italy. She learns quickly that her studies didn\u2019t prepare her to be intensely interrogated by authorities in Italian. \u201cIn order to move forward, I need to go back,\u201d Knox says in the clip, thinking back to 2007. \u201cI had no idea that my dream was about to become a nightmare.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox<\/em> grapples with innocence and interrogation as her life is permanently altered. The series also features Sharon Horgan, John Hoogenakker, Francesco Acquaroli, Giuseppe De Domenico, and Roberta Mattei. The first two episodes will premiere on Aug. 20 followed by weekly releases extending through Oct. 1.<\/p>\n \n\tKnox serves as an executive producer on the show. The scene recreating the questioning, she recently told Vanity Fair<\/em>, was one of the hardest to witness being filmed. \u201cI did not lose my shit on set except<\/em>\u00a0for that time,\u201d she said. \u201cWe spent two 10-hour days doing this scene from all the different angles over and over and over again. I feel a deep sense of responsibility to get that right, so that the next person who is wrongly accused and ends up falsely confessing feels like people are more willing to believe them \u2026 I just remember sobbing.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \n\tFor Knox, having a deep involvement in the creative process was essential. \u201cI wasn\u2019t interested in having yet another person\u2019s voice telling the worst experience of my life for who knows what reason,\u201d she added. After spending four years in prison, an appeal trial found Knox not guilty of murder in October 2011. <\/p>\n \n\t\u201cThe practical reality of being a convict and having to prove whether I\u2019ve been rehabilitated from a crime I did not commit, having to do FBI Background checks and get fingerprinted, have character recommendation letters [written] are all things that follow me,\u201d Knox told Rolling Stone <\/em>earlier this year. \u201cIt\u2019s in the public consciousness. I was very publicly accused and my reputation [was] utterly transformed in the most negative way, internationally. There\u2019s no pretending that\u2019s not a part of my reality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amanda Knox becomes an easy target in the official trailer for The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, the upcoming limited series from Hulu.
