EXCLUSIVE: PSYCHO KILLER, qu'est-ce que c'est?
Not a Talking Heads biopic, but a new movie from the writer of SE7EN.
Joe Eszterhas Shane Black Charlie Kaufman. All three started out as pure screenwriters (by that I mean they wrote without producing/directing, though Black and Kaufman have now both moved behind the camera) and another was Andrew Kevin Walker. Walker was hot stuff after SE7EN but, THE WOLF MAN aside, he seems to have been pretty quiet in recent years. In fact, he's so low-key I couldnt find a pic of him and had to plump for a one that tenuously links to my dreadful headline! And if you dont know who that guy pictured is go and get Jonathan Demmes STOP MAKING SENSE. Barely a week ago, Walkers new spec script hit Hollywood. Titled PSYCHO KILLER, it could quite possibly be the most dark and disturbing movie yet from the warped mind that brought us Gwyneth Paltrows severed head in a box. A source of mine spilled the details on Walkers script and if it gets made it wont be for the squeamish. The script has a parental advisory logo and notifies the reader that it should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. It deals with a insane killer who bludgeons his victims to death with a sledgehammer. Heres an interesting little clip from the text:-
'We' will mostly be shot from behind, or from the neck down, because our FACE WILL NEVER BE FULLY REVEALED. 'We' are PSYCHO KILLER.This is extremely daring on Walkers part. The movies protagonist is going to be a serial killer - imagine if we saw SE7EN entirely from Kevin Spaceys characters point of view. I can see this being an extremely difficult watch but gripping nonetheless. And what about the ending? Walkers trademark is the shock ending, the sucker punch that yanks the rug from under the audiences feet surely theyll be something special in store for the audience in PSYCHO KILLERs third act.
