If ever a true story was made for the movie treatment, it's this.
Lenny Abrahamson is set to direct a film based on the book 'Burning Rainbow Farm,' the story of Tom Crosslin and Rollie Rohm.
Crosslin and Rohm ran a "peaceful and pot-friendly haven" in Michigan - the titular Rainbow Farm - which was a haven for people who liked to smoke, with the annual music festival a particularly popular event in the 1990s.
During one of the farm's events, a teenager crashed his car and his death a series of catastrophic events.
The police raided the farm, took the couple's son, with Crosslin and Rohm subsequently burning everything to the ground.
What followed was a showdown with deeply tragic consequences.
Dublin-born Abrahamson has previously directed Adam and Paul, Garage, What Richard Did, Frank and the Oscar-winning Room, starring Brie Larson.
