Netflix has released a trailer for their original film Casting JonBenet, the next in a string of recent explorations of the 1996 murder of JonBenet Ramsey. Directed by Kitty Green, the film goes through the audition process with local Boulder actors while revisiting facts of the case, and “blurs the lines between documentary and drama.”
