Tim Roth

Actor and director Tim Roth is working on a film based on “Turning Stones,” a 1996 memoir by New York social worker Marc Parent, according to news reports.

According to this article in The Playlist, a blog that follows cinema happenings, Roth was impressed by Parent’s work saving abused and neglected children and wanted to do a film about his story. He reportedly wants Sam Rockwell, star of “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” “Moon,” and “Iron Man 2,” to play the lead role.

SocialWorkersSpeak.org will check back periodically to see how the “Turning Stones” project is faring. We plan to keep readers updated.
