Oscar Isaac to Star in a Crime Thriller Series Titled HELLTOWN

Oscar Isaac is going to star in a new crime thriller series for Amazon Studios titled Helltown. The project is based on the book written by Casey Sherman, and it’s being developed by Severance co-executive producer Mohamad El Masri, who will also serve as showrunner and writer. The series will be helmed by All Quiet on the Western Front director Ed Berger.

The hour-long, eight-episode series follows the life of Kurt Vonnegut before he became known to the world as a renowned author. “In 1969 Kurt was a struggling novelist and car salesman living life with his wife and five children on Cape Cod. When two women disappear and are later discovered murdered underneath the sand dunes on the outskirts of Provincetown, Kurt becomes obsessed and embroiled in the chilling hunt for a serial killer and forms a dangerous bond with the prime suspect.”

There’s a lot of great talent involved with this project with Severance being a huge hit for Apple and All Quiet on the Western Front coming off four Oscar wins including best international feature film, best production design, best original score, and best cinematography.

On top of that, Robert Downey Jr. and Susan Downey will executive produce through their Team Downey production banner alongside and Amanda Burrell. Oscar Isaac will also serve as executive producer.

This seems like it will be a great project for Isaac to star in! A project that will allow his acting talent to shine.
