"DATELINE'S" DENNIS MURPHY REPORTS IN "DOUBLE EXPOSURE" - FRIDAY, JAN. 20

HOLLYWOOD DREAMS TAKE A TRAGIC TURN IN "DOUBLE EXPOSURE," AIRING FRIDAY, JAN. 20 ON "DATELINE NBC"

NEW YORK -- January 18, 2006 -- Thinking he would make the next "The Blair Witch Project," first-time filmmaker Blaine Norris thought his horror movie could put him on the map. Unfortunately, his shot at stardom would cost one innocent woman her life. Dennis Murphy reports on this twisty tale of life imitating art, Friday, Jan. 20 (9:00 PM/ET) on "Dateline NBC."

In the hour-long report, Murphy travels to Harrisburg, Penn., where this slasher movie spawned a real-life horror all of its own. He speaks with the mother of the victim, investigators, friends of the wannabe director and the filmmakers of a new documentary about the terrible cost of one man's Hollywood dream.

David Corvo is the executive producer of "Dateline NBC."
