David Dastmalchian Joins Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, and Chris Cooper in BOSTON STRANGLER Film
David Dastmalchian (Ant-Man, The Suicide Squad, Dune) has signed on to join the cast of the 20th Century Studios film Boston Strangler. He will star alongside cast members Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, and Chris Cooper.
The film, from writer-director Matt Ruskin, “is based on the infamous Boston Strangler murders that rocked Boston from 1962-64 and left at least 11 women dead. The film centers on Loretta McLaughlin (Knightley), the reporter who broke the story of the strangler. Along with reporter Jean Cole, McLaughlin challenged the sexism of the era, pursuing the story at personal risk and uncovering corruption that cast doubt on the identity of the strangler.”
Dastmalchian is joining the cast in what is described as a pivotal, undisclosed role. Filming is slated to begin next month in Boston.
We are huge fans of Dastmalchian here at GeekTyrant, and as the resident murderino, I am excited to see him in this upcoming role.
