Wolf Creek (review) was a film that was inspired by different tales and events, the filmmakers even said as much, it is an amalgamation. However the UK TV channel ITV are teaming up with the Australian channel Network Ten to create a TV film which will look at the real life events of one of these incidents, that of the murdered British backpacker, Peter Falconio.

According to The Guardian the film...

...will include a reconstruction of the couple's night-time abduction at Barrow Creek in the Northern Territory, where Mr Falconio was shot dead and Ms Lees was forced to hide for nearly five hours in the bush.

Bradley John Murdoch, a mechanic, was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in Darwin last year. But Yorkshire-born Falconio's body was never discovered.

For those of you who don't know the story, Ms Lees was viewed as a suspect for a very long time in the case, since no one could understand how she escaped nor find evidence of the killer. However it wasn't until Murdoch was eventually arrested a year later and DNA evidence matched his shirt to the crime scene that Lees was vindicated.

Much of the storyline will be seen through the eyes of crown prosecutor Rex Wild, played by veteran Australian actor Bryan Brown...

So it's a court room drama with flashbacks, and it promises to be both controversial and attention grabbing.
