With additional casting underway, the movie will be executive-produced and directed by Elisabeth Rohm, who is also an alum of Sarah Lawrence College. The movie begins production this month and will premiere as part of Lifetime&#8217;s Ripped from the Headlines summer slate.<\/p>\n<p>When Larry Ray (Billy Zane), an ex-convict, unexpectedly moves into his daughter&#8217;s dorm, he enthralls her friends with conversations and promises to help them with personal transformations by preying on their insecurities and fears. Under Ray&#8217;s influence, the students uncover false memories of childhood trauma that Ray used to further alienate them from their families. As the students continued to fall under Ray&#8217;s control, he began to target their friends and family, extending his reach of emotional, financial, sexual abuse and mental manipulation. As the students got pulled deeper into the cult, Ray&#8217;s control moved from emotional and mental to sexual as well, creating a web of lies and deceit.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2379351151\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>The Untitled Larry Ray Movie<\/strong> is executive produced by Stephen Tolkin, Dan Abrams, Rachel Stockman, Jonathan Baruch, and Howard Braunstein for Lifetime.
