Tom Holland, Sebastian Stan, Robert Pattinson, and More Join Netflix's THE DEVIL ALL THE TIME
Netflix is producing a new psychological thriller titled The Devil All the Time, and the all-star cast for this movie was recently revealed. They certainly managed to get together an impressive line-up!
The movie is coming from director Antonio Campos (Simon Killer, Martha Marcy May Marlene) and it stars Tom Holland, Sebastian Stan, Robert Pattinson, Bill Skarsgard, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Haley Bennett, Mia Wasikowska, Eliza Scanlen, Harry Melling, and Pokey LaFarge.
The Devil All the Time is based on a book by Donald Ray Pollock. The story takes place between World War II and the Vietnam War and it follows the stories of several different people who have been damaged by the effects of war. Here’s the description from the book:
In The Devil All the Time, Donald Ray Pollock has written a novel that marries the twisted intensity of Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers with the religious and Gothic overtones of Flannery O’Connor at her most haunting.
Set in rural southern Ohio and West Virginia, The Devil All the Time follows a cast of compelling and bizarre characters from the end of World War II to the 1960s. There’s Willard Russell, tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific, who can’t save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from an agonizing death by cancer no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his “prayer log.” There’s Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, who troll America’s highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate. There’s the spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick, Theodore, running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin Eugene Russell, Willard and Charlotte’s orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
Donald Ray Pollock braids his plotlines into a taut narrative that will leave readers astonished and deeply moved. With his first novel, he proves himself a master storyteller in the grittiest and most uncompromising American grain.
This sounds like it’s going to be a great movie, especially with the cast that was brought on board to star in it. Netflix also announced that the film would premiere on September 16th.
