SAVANNAH, Ga. – Filming is underway in Savannah, Georgia, for the psychological thriller “Lizzie,” which stars Chloe Sevigny as Lizzie Borden.
The film centres on the true events surrounding the infamous axe murders of Borden’s father and stepmother in Massachusetts in 1892. Lizzie Borden was tried and acquitted for the killings, and no one else was ever charged.
