“Helltown” – Oscar Isaac in Talks to Star in Serial Killer Thriller
Fresh off an Oscar win for All Quiet on the Western Front, director Ed Berger is on board to direct and executive produce a limited serial killer series titled “Helltown,” Deadline reports.
Additionally, Oscar Isaac (“Moon Knight”) is attached to star in the series, as well as executive produce. “Helltown” is based on the same-titled book from Casey Sherman.
The eight-episode Amazon Studios series comes from showrunner Mohamad El Masri (Severance), and Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey’s Team Downey.
Deadline details, “Helltown centers on Kurt Vonnegut (Isaac) before he was a renowned author and cultural lightning rod. In 1969 Kurt was a struggling novelist and car salesman living life with his wife and five children on Cape Cod.
“When two women disappear and are later discovered murdered underneath the sand dunes on the outskirts of Provincetown, Kurt becomes obsessed and embroiled in the chilling hunt for a serial killer and forms a dangerous bond with the prime suspect.”
Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey and Amanda Burrell executive produce for Team Downey; Isaac would executive produce with Gena Konstantinakos through his Mad Gene banner, which would produce alongside Team Downey and Amazon Studios. Sherman also executive produces.
