One of the three people dead was possibly a truck driver who stopped on the side of the road to help, reported KSLA . Arkansas State Police say there are initial reports of fatalities but details are still being confirmed.

Unfortunately, Franco is executive producing, not starring in the film (and wrote the story)-but there’s some truly excellent news, if reports are to be believed.

However, he only ceased playing the song when his 4-year-old daughter called in to tell him she didn’t like it, Metro reports. In 2013, DJ Thomas Axmann played ” Last Christmas ” 16 times in a row, according to Austrian newspaper Die Presse .

Sony Pictures Television, which produced the original, will collaborate with Rabbit Bandini Productions on the project. Coney will also appear in the upcoming adaptation of Francos novel Actors Anonymous, which is being directed by Melanie Aitkenhead, who will also be at the helm of this project, according to THR.

Economists polled by MarketWatch expect a downward revision to 1.8%, from 2.1% recorded previously. Some analysts believed Monday’s rally is a technical recovery from last week’s sharp sell-off.

The movie should be ready to debut next year, which will mark the 20-year anniversary of the original. Their sources say Spelling will very likely appear as the mother this time; it’s not clear whether Franco will appear in the movie.

Originally planned for a theatrical release, after failing to find a distributor, “Mother, May I Sleep With Danger?” first aired on NBC in September 1996.

The 1996 film starred Tori Spelling as a young woman enchanted by a man who becomes increasingly possessive and unhinged.

Franco’s remake follows Will Ferrell and Kristen Wiig’s “A Deadly Adoption”, which aired on Lifetime this summer. The movie is set to air in 2016.
