Teaming with an Oscar-nominated actor like Casey Affleck and an acclaimed director such as Michael Winterbottom (A MIGHTY HEART) could be a step on the right path. Alba will co-star with Casey in Winterbottom’s THE KILLER INSIDE ME, based on Jim Thompson’s 1952 noir novel.
The story involves an amiable small-town Texas lawman wrestling with a dark secret, demonstrated through increasingly sociopathic actions. And there’s also a whore, who’s being played by Alba, and I think plenty of us will show up for Albawhore.
The novel was previously adapted in 1976 with Stacy Keach playing the violent deputy sheriff.
