"The Last Exorcism" creators Eli Roth, Eric Newman and Paris-based StudioCanal, are re-teaming on a genre follow-up, suspense pic "Psycho Killer," written by "Seven" scribe Andrew Kevin Walker. "Killer" marks the directorial debut of genre pic producer Gavin Polone, producer of "Zombieland."
"Killer" turns on a nameless, masked murderer who leaves a trail of victims across the U.S. In a chance encounter on the plains of Nebraska, he kills a highway patrolman. The only witness to the crime, the patrolman's young wife, a fellow officer, sets out to hunt the killer down, as the psycho killer plans his masterpiece: a mass murder which guarantees him a triumphant entry into hell. According to Polone, the first 20% of the film accompanies the serial killer. The film then follows the paths of psycho and officer until they converge. "Killer" is currently initiating casting. The femme lead will be played by "a very good rising actress, somebody audiences know but not a big star," said Ron Halpern, StudioCanal head of international acquisition and production.
