This one is tentatively titled “Secrets on Sorority Row” and is slated to air on Lifetime. Director Dylan Vox is a 2000 graduate of Roanoke County’s Cave Spring High School and said after he shot his last movie here earlier this year, “The Weekend,” he knew he wanted to come back. “The Weekend” is expected to air on Lifetime in March and “Secrets on Sorority Row” should be finished sometime this summer.

(CNN) - Described as a "ripped from the headlines" movie, Lifetime's "The College Admissions Scandal" is "inspired by" the Varsity Blues cheating and bribery story, which gets at the truth of the issues in occasionally heavy-handed but overall, kind of delicious fashion. Yet at its best, the movie effectively illustrates the cynical calculus that these parents made, as well as the rationalizations employed to justify their actions.

"The College Admissions Scandal" airs Oct. 12 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
