I Am Not a Serial Killer, starring Christopher Lloyd, begins filming

Last Updated on July 22, 2021

Christopher Lloyd (BACK TO THE FUTURE), WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE star Max Records and Laura Fraser ("Breaking Bad") are starring in ISOLATION helmer Billy O'Brien's adaptation of Dan Wells' I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER, which just began filming in Minnesota, according to Screen Daily.

The film is said to chart the story of a teenage boy hunting for a supernatural serial killer in his snowbound mid-western town. Here's a synopsis of the book:

John Wayne Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it.

He’s spent his life doing his best not to live up to his potential.

He’s obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn’t want to become one. So for his own sake, and the safety of those around him, he lives by rigid rules he’s written for himself, practicing normal life as if it were a private religion that could save him from damnation.

Dead bodies are normal to John. He likes them, actually. They don’t demand or expect the empathy he’s unable to offer. Perhaps that’s what gives him the objectivity to recognize that there’s something different about the body the police have just found behind the Wash-n-Dry Laundromat—and to appreciate what that difference means.

Now, for the first time, John has to confront a danger outside himself, a threat he can’t control, a menace to everything and everyone he would love, if only he could.

Production started on February 28, with Nick Ryan, Robbie Ryan and Billy O’Brien of Floodland Pictures (THE SUMMIT) producing alongside The Tea Shop and Film Company’s (TOWER BLOCK) James Harris and Mark Lane.
