The movie, which is being produced by Lee Daniels
Entertainment- the company behind the Oscar award winning flick, "Monster’s
Ball," focuses on a man who returns to his hometown after 12 years in prison.

realizes he is cured of the pedophilia that has haunted him for years.

and Michael Shannon are also slated to appear in the movie.

Philadelphia.
