Morgan Spector Joins Kiera Knightley in True Crime Thriller BOSTON STRANGLER
Actor Morgan Spector, best known for his roles in Homeland, The Plot Against America, and HBO’s recent hit, The Gilded Age, has been hired on to round out the cast of the true crime thriller Boston Strangler. He joins previously cast stars Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, and Chris Cooper. Ridley Scott, Kevin Walsh, and Michael Pruss of Scott Free will produce alongside Tom Ackerley and Josey McNamara of LuckyChap Entertainment.
“Based on the infamous Boston Strangler murders, this is the true story of Loretta McLaughlin, the first reporter to connect the murders and break the story of the Strangler. She and fellow reporter Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer and worked tirelessly to keep women informed. McLaughlin pursued the story at great personal risk and uncovered corruption that cast doubt on the true identity of the Boston Strangler.”
The film is being written and directed by Matt Ruskin (Booster, Crown Heights), and it’s set to begin shooting in December in Boston. I’ve never heard about this side of the story, so I am definitely looking forward to checking it out.
