Icarus Films will handled the sales and marketing of the
KimStim Collection’s DVD release of documentary filmmaker Jeremiah Zagar’s Captivated:
The Trials of Pamela Smart. The
street date is Nov. 10.
Back in 1991, Pamela Smart was convicted of being an accomplice
to the first-degree murder of her husband after a sensational trial that lasted
two weeks.
It was broadcast live, became
a media circus and inspired two films — Murder in New Hampshire: The Pamela Wojas
Smart Story, starring Helen Hunt as Smart and To Die For, with Nicole
Kidman, Matt Dillon and Joaquin Phoenix as fictionalized versions of wife,
husband and killer (both have been released on DVD).
She is currently servicing a life sentence without the
possibility of parole at the New Hampshire State Prison for Women in Goffstown,
New Hampshire (where filmmaker Jeremiah Zagar was given access to interview her). As the murder plot unraveled, it was
discovered that Smart had seduced a teen (William "Billy" Flynn) into
murdering her husband (Flynn and his three high school buddies were also given
life sentences, but all are now out on parole).
