Sharlto Copley Is Psychopath Ted Kaczynski in Haunting New Trailer for TED K
A full trailer has been released for the upcoming true-crime thriller Ted K. Sharlto Copley (District 9) stars in the film as the psychopath Ted Kaczynski a.k.a. The Unabomber. The film explores his life in Lincoln, Montana in the years leading up to his arrest as The Unabomber.
This is going to be a dark and intense film and it looks like Copley gives a haunting performance. In the film, “Ted K lives a life of almost complete seclusion in a simple wooden cabin in the mountains of Montana. But then this former university professor, who despises modern society and its faith in technology, becomes radicalized. What begins with local acts of sabotage, ends with deadly bomb attacks. To the outside world, Ted K becomes known as the Unabomber.”
The movie is based on Kaczynski's diaries and writings, and it’s explained that “the film is a kaleidoscopic true crime journey into the life of one of America's most complex and eccentric killers. It features a tour-de-force performance by Copley who portrays the complexity of this unique outsider, raging at the forces of both the inescapable technological society that plagues him and his own inner demons.”
The film was directed by Tony Stone, and it also stars Drew Powell, Travis W Bruyer, and Wayne Pyle. Ted K will be released in select US theaters and on VOD on February 18th, 2022.
