The Lie is a 2011 American drama/comedy film written and directed by Joshua Leonard with additional writing by Jeff Feuerzeig, Mark Webber, and Jess Weixler, based on the short story The Lie by T. Coraghessan Boyle, printed in The New Yorker.[1] The film stars Joshua Leonard as Lonnie, Jess Weixler as Clover, and Mark Webber as Tank. The film is about how a man's life is altered unexpectedly after telling a lie to get out of work. The original short story was sixteen pages long.[2] The crew spent two and a half weeks shooting the film, and six months editing it.[3] The film had its world premiere at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

Production

Joshua Leonard had been on the lookout for a story to be made into a movie, when he read the short story, The Lie, which was in the April 14, 2008 issue of The New Yorker. He realized that the story was a good fit for an independent film that could be made in Los Angeles, using collaborators he already knew in the area.[4] For the baby Xana, the filmmakers cast Violet Long (an infant at that time) whose parents are Daniel (the film's co-producer) and Darby Long.
