Lifetime made the film and have released the first trailer for the biopic.



Here's a first look at the film which is expected to premiere in the US in November. 



The movie stars Andreas Damm as Pistorius and Toni Garrn as Steenkamp. 



It chronicles the real-life story of the fatal Valentine's Day shooting, the Blade Runner's relationship with Steenkamp and his lengthy trial.  



A release date for South Africa is yet to be confirmed.



Meanwhile, a date has been set for the State's application for leave to appeal Pistorius' jail term.



The matter will be heard in the Supreme Court of Appeal on 3 November.



Pistorius, a former Paralympian, has been convicted of murder.



In June 2016 he began serving his six-year jail term.



He had initially been found guilty of culpable homicide and received a five-year prison sentence, but on appeal by the State he was found guilty of murder. 



NPA spokesperson Luvuyo Mfaku told Jacaranda FM News that the six-year jail term is shockingly inappropriate.
