Netflix Acquires Anna Kendrick’s Dating Game Serial Killer Movie WOMAN OF THE HOUR For $11 Million
Anna Kendrick has made her big directorial debut with a Dating Game serial killer movie titled Woman of the Hour. The movie made its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and Netflix has acquired the movie for around $11 million!
Kendrick also stars in the fact-based thriller, which tell the “stranger-than-fiction story of a young woman who actually won a date on The Dating Game with a man who turned out to be a notorious serial killer. Rodney Alcala was convicted or murdering at least eight women, but investigators believe the number could be as high as 130. The handsome and charming Alcala lured women by posing as a photographer looking for models. He had already been a registered sex offender, and was recently released from prison. Somehow he was accepted on the popular daytime Dating Game, where a woman asked questions of three bachelors that were concealed by a wall.”
Kendrick takes on the role of the contestant, Cheryl Bradshaw, who ended up choosing the killer who is played by Daniel Zovatto. He turned out to be such a creepy stalker that she never went on the date.
I’ve heard about this story and it seems like it’ll make for an interesting movie. The script was written by Ian McDonald and Kendrick produced with Roy Lee.
