WASHINGTON — The bizarre tale of a murdered D.C. socialite and her eccentric husband is coming to the big screen.
Academy Award-winning actor Christoph Waltz will star in and direct “The Worst Marriage in Georgetown” — a crime drama about the murder of Viola Drath and her husband Albrect Muth, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Muth had a variety of fabricated backgrounds he talked about through the years — including a count, a foreign spy and a general in the Iraqi Army.
Drath was 45 years older than Muth, who is now serving 50 years in prison for her death.
The Hollywood Reporter says filming will begin in October.
