Saving Sudan

It’s all about serious subject matter these days for Reese Witherspoon.

The Oscar winner has Devil’s Knot, a movie about the West Memphis Three, coming out soon, and she’s looking to work on a project about the Lost Boys of Sudan, the more than 20,000 boys displaced after the Second Sudanese Civil War.

The Southern Belle would play the brash American woman who gives four boys who managed to flee Sudan a new lease on life in the United States.

Think of it as The Blind Side, but with a political edge.

Up next for Witherspoon, though, is Mud, co-starring Matthew McConaughey and opening in April.
