Controversy thriller starring Casey Affleck
IFC Films have picked up the US rights to Michael Winterbottomâs The Killer Inside Me at Sundance this past weekend reports Variety.
The all star cast features Casey Affleck as a murderous small-town Texas sheriff, along with Jessica Alba, Kate Hudson, Simon Baker, Bill Pullman, Ned Beatty and Elias Koteas.
Based on Jim Thompsonâs pulp novel and scripted by John Curran, the film sparked some controversy at Sundance due to its explicit violent, sexual content. Let’s not forget IFC picked up Lars Von Trierâs Antichrist at Cannes last year, so they’re used to controversial subject matter.
IFC Films is set to release the film in late summer through its theatrical and VOD platforms.
