HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Inspired by the most notorious missing person’s case in New York history, All Good Things is a love story and murder mystery set against the backdrop of a New York real estate dynasty in the 1980s.
The film was inspired by the story of Robert Durst, scion of the wealthy Durst family. Mr. Durst was suspected of, but never tried for, the murder of his wife Kathie who disappeared in 1982 and was never found. To this day, despite multiple investigations and two other headline-making killings, Durst has never been convicted of a single murder and lives as a free, if haunted, man, having received $65 million to sever all ties to his family’s vast fortune.
The film stars Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst and Frank Langella as the powerful patriarch. The original script was developed by Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Marcus Hinchey and written by Hinchey and Smerling.
"In constructing this film, we used extraordinary elements from the life of Robert Durst as the inspiration for a dramatic story of desire, family, obsession, and murder," says Jarecki. "We didn’t try to replicate the exact history, but worked to capture the emotion and complexity of this love story turned unsolved mystery that has for years been kept hidden from public view."
