Amanda Knox Murder Case: ‘Foxy Knoxy’s’ Lawyers Taking Legal Action Against Producers Of ‘The Face Of An Angel;’ Film A Mirror Of Truth?

Amanda Knox murder case update reveals that "Foxy Knoxy's" lawyers are taking a legal action against the producers of "The Face of an Angel," as one reporter who covered the trial from the beginning said that the movie got the whole media circus right.

Lawyer Luciano Ghirga said that the Amanda Knox murder case trial is still ongoing and if the film, "The Face of an Angel" will any way cause damage to her image, they won't hesitate to file a case against the producers.

The lawyer has admitted that he hasn't seen it yet, according to MailOnline, but historically the literature and movies have not been fair to his client.

"There have already been at least two films and 12 books about the case. If the film is based even loosely on the murder in Perugia and if it is damaging to Amanda's image, we will be asking for damages, as we have done in other cases," he said.

The film is based on the book "Angel Face" written by Barbie Latza Nadeau. The CNN journalist claimed that the book has nothing to do with the particulars of the Amanda Knox murder case as she said that the whole trial only served as a jumping point.

It is for this reason that the author is not worried about being sued, MailOnline added.

Meanwhile, Tom Kington of London's The Guardian said that the film, directed by Michael Winterbottom and starred by Kate Berkinsale, has at least gotten the whole media circus surrounding the Amanda Knox murder case right.

"Winterbottom does not focus on the murder of Kercher in Perugia in 2007, but on the journalists who covered the case, who chased lawyers down the medieval alleys of the town, who waded through reams of court documents written in punctuation-free legalese, and gleefully pounced on the sex life of suspect Amanda Knox," he wrote.
