“The Killer Inside Me” is a thriller and crime movie directed by Michael Winterbottom and produced by Bradford L.Schlei.
Casey Affleck, Bill Pullman and such famous actresses as Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson star in this film.
“The Killer Inside Me” is based on Jim Thompson’s book of the same name. A lot of filmmakers were trying to adopt this book for a film.
The first project of the film was originally meant to star Marilyn Monroe as Joyce Lakeland, Elizabeth Taylor as Amy Stanton and Marlon Brando as the main hero–Lou Ford. But the project was shelved, as Monroe died unexpectedly on August 5, 1962.
There was another attempt to adopt the book into film with Tom Cruise (as Lou Ford), Brook Shields (Amy Stanton) and Demi Moore (Joyce Lakeland), but the project failed again.
Lastly, the movie was adapted and directed by Burt Kennedy in 1976. And now, Michael Winterbottom decided to make this story into a movie again, and this new movie will be released on June 18.
The plot of the movie is rather interesting. Can you imagine a sheriff who is a cruel serial killer? That’s the main idea of the movie. So if you are a fan of such thriller films, don’t miss it.
Deputy sheriff Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) is a respected person in his small hometown. People find him calm and quite thoughtful. Ford is prized for being a “no-mercy-sheriff” towards criminals, but no one knows that the real criminal lives inside him as he is a serial killer.
This sickness developed in him when he was a child. He sexually abused and then killed his girlfriend (a school teacher) Amy Stanton (Kate Hudson). But his brother took the blame on him. And this way Lou was saved from prison. Afterward the terrible sickness slept in him for a while and now it’s going to surface again. The end of the movie will be known in June.
As for Jessica Alba, she is playing the role of a prostitute and there is some nudity in the film. So, this movie is actually not for children.
