Andrew Kevin Walker’s script for original concept Psycho Killer has been making the rounds for several years now, and at one point in time Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst was attached to direct. That of course never happened, but now the project is once again back on track.
THR reports today out of Cannes that Germany-based financing and sales banner K5 has come on board to finance the Se7en scribe’s serial killer thriller, which will be directed by Zombieland producer Gavin Polone.
Psycho Killer follows a nameless murderer with a nightmarish mask who stalks his way across the United States, leaving a trail of random victims left in a bloody tribute to Satan.
“Andrew’s pedigree as a writer is unparalleled for this kind of nail-biting thriller,” said K5’s Oliver Simon and Daniel Baur. “Delivering a disturbing and powerful punch, Psycho Killer will come to be seen as one of the great cinematic inventions. It recalls the great villains of our nightmares, from Hannibal Lecter to Jason, but also compels and gives us a sense of awe at his sheer power. We’ve no doubt that Gavin will deliver a truly exceptional thriller.”
