Casey Anthony: In a movie, the big scenes would be Cindy’s

Will there be a movie in the Casey Anthony case?

A savvy producer could use the public record and tell a riveting story. No money would ever need to go to any of the Anthonys.

The challenge would be telling the story, because in a Casey Anthony movie, the central character is a cipher. The mostly mum Casey is charged with first-degree murder in the death of daughter Caylee.

The better way to go would be to focus on Cindy Anthony, Casey’s mom, who has delivered the most dramatic moments in this headline-making case. It’s a role that would appeal to actresses of a certain age. Done the right way, the role could have Emmy written all over it.

Cindy’s moments include the 911 calls and her fiery deposition in the Zenaida Gonzalez defamation suit. Another big scene could unfold at a hearing this week when Cindy is questioned about the 911 calls.

All along the way, Cindy has been the more interesting figure than Casey. We see Cindy swimming with Caylee in home movies.

We’ve seen Cindy arguing with protesters outside her home and waving a hammer.

We’ve seen Cindy in TV interviews, sticking up for Casey and crying about Caylee. We saw Cindy at the memorial service. Cindy dined at the Ritz. Cindy keeps coming to court.

I wonder what Casey Anthony would make of Cindy becoming the star of “The Casey Anthony Story.”
