Oscar-winning filmmaker Adam McKay (Vice, Don’t Look Up) is putting together one hell of a cast for his next movie, a serial killer comedy titled Average Height, Average Build.
Deadline reports that Robert Pattinson, Amy Adams, Robert Downey Jr., Forest Whitaker and Danielle Deadwyler will lead the cast of the upcoming genre comedy.
The site notes, “The script and that package is out to studios and streamers, and the intention is to get it into production by late summer or early fall.”
The plot for Average Height, Average Build? It sounds like a social satire/commentary, with Robert Pattinson playing a serial killer. Deadline details, “Pattinson will play a serial killer who enlists a lobbyist (Adams) to change laws that will allow him to get away with murder more easily. Downey Jr’s role is a retired cop who won’t give up on the murders, and the killer tries to prevent him from dogging his trail now that he’s hung up his gun.”
Deadline further details the storyline for McKay’s next movie, “The serial killer turns himself into a cause celebre, a Mr. Smith Goes To Washington figure shielding his true motives.”
