Talking 'The Killing Fields' Starring Worthington and Morgan

I was already looking forward to this movie after reading that Sam Worthington was starring, but now they went ahead and threw in Jeffrey Dean Morgan as his partner! Hell yeah I'm even more excited.


Quote:
Sam Worthington shows no signs of slowing down. With Avatar still making a dent in the box office -- despite being overtaken by Dear John this weekend -- and Clash of the Titans heading to the theaters, Variety has confirmed that the Aussie star will play the lead in The Fields.

Originally titled Texas Killing Fields and written by Donald F. Ferrarone, a former DEA operations agent, the script follows the (scarily) true story of two detectives who attempt to the solve the mystery behind over 70 murders near some oil refineries in coastal Texas.

Talking to Deadline Hollywood, producer Michael Mann said:

It's a brilliant screenplay, filled with things you cannot make up in Hollywood, things you would have had to find the dead bodies in a heroin operation to understand. That’s why it’s such a haunting piece. This is such a spooky zone in Texas where cell phones don’t work, where the homes sit on trailer stilts, and where there’s a hand-painted sign on the bridge that reads, "You Are Now Entering the Cruel World."

Bloody Disgusting has learned exclusively that Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Losers, Red Dawn, The Resident, Watchmen) will star alongside Sam Worthington in the murder mystery Texas Killing Fields, with Michael Mann producing through his Forward Pass shingle along with Michael Jaffe. Mann's daughter, Ami Canaan Mann, will direct from Donald F. Ferrarone's script. The story focuses on the true story of a pair of police officers who undertook to solve two decades of disappearances and homicides -- totalling as many as 60 victims -- in the industrial wastelands surrounding Gulf Coast refineries. It was previously reported that Worthington will portray a local homicide detective who works with a New York transplant to wage a war against the unknown but fierce killers. Lensing will start in April in Louisiana. Source

Funny, last I had heard Danny Boyle had been in talks to direct then everything fell through. Good to see that this project will get the light of day.

Anchor Bay Acquires 'Texas Killing Fields'


Quote:
Anchor Bay Films has acquired Ami Canaan Mann's Texas Killing Fields for a limited theatrical run this coming October.

Directed by Ami Canaan Mann, daughter of acclaimed Director Michael Mann, the thriller is inspired by true events and "follows a local homicide detective (Sam Worthington) in a small Texan town and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call 'The Killing Fields.'

The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl, Anne (Chloe Grace Moretz) goes missing the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find the killer and save her life."

More info, stills, poster and trailer when released.
Really looking forward to this and happy it was picked up.
