TV: Loads Of Inside Info On Kevin Williamson Serial Killer Thriller
A breakdown making the rounds for Fox’s untitled serial killer thriller, penned by Kevin Williamson, has revealed some new casting, along with plot details. Thanks to Bloody reader ‘RRH’ for his second tip of the week!
Deadline earlier reported that the series is “An edge-of-your-seat thriller about the complex relationship between a diabolical serial killer and the damaged FBI agent who took him down. After the killer escaped, the agent is reactivated and discovers that he is no longer just hunting one man, but a massive cult of serial killers created and manipulated during his time in prison.”
As previously announced, the leads are both James Purefoy and Kevin Bacon with Purefoy playing “Joe Carroll”, the series lead who brutally murdered 14 female students. “A devotee of Romanticism, Carroll removed his victims’ eyes as a nod to his favorite author, Poe. Captured by FBI agent Ryan Hardy, Carroll has been in Huntsville Prison ever since, plotting his next novel. After escaping from prison with a double murder, Carroll sets his diabolical masterpiece in motion.”
Bacon plays alcoholic cop “Ryan Hardy” who had arrested Carroll nine years earlier. “Ryan is hauled out of retirement when Joe Carroll escapes from prison, and plunges into the details of an FBI investigation for the first time in almost a decade.”
Also previously announced were Shawn Ashmore (Frozen, Mother’s Day, The Day, Ruins), Jeananne Goossen (“Alcatraz”), Nathalie Zea (“Justified”), Nico Tortorella (Scream 4, Odd Thomas) and Valorie Curry (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2) with Goossen playing “Jennifer Mason,” the Special Agent In Charge of the investigation into the escape of serial killer Joe Carroll. Zea stars as “Claire Matthews,” the ex-wife of Joe Carroll and once a Literature professor at Southern Methodist University. Ashmore is locked in as “Agent Riley,” with the other two starring in minor reoccurring roles. Pictured: Jeananne Goossen
One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).
Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”
In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”
Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
