Here is your first look at Michael Winterbottom’s “The Killer Inside Me” courtesy of a few pap snaps taken during the film’s production.
Based on a Jim Thompson novel — the author who co-wrote Stanley Kubrick’s classic-heist-caper “The Killing” — “The Killer Inside Me” is set in the 1950’s and centers on a West Texas sheriff, played by Casey Affleck, on his downward spiral from a boring small-town cop into a ruthless, sociopathic murderer trying to cement his innocence when the evidence looks suspicious.
The film co-stars Kate Hudson as the sheriff’s girlfriend, Simon Baker as a county attorney looking to expose the sheriff, Jessica Alba as a prostitute and Ned Beatty and Bill Pullman in unknown roles. Filming took place during the summer in Oklahoma with a summer 2010 release is being eyed even though a distributor has yet to be found.
While on set, producers Brad Schlei and Andrew Eaton spoke with local paper, The Oklahoman [via NewsOk], about the film’s production. Here are their interviews which includes behind-the-scenes footage from filming.
