From director Damián Szifron, Vertical Entertainment’s To Catch a Killer is headed to theaters on April 21, and the official trailer today carries strong Silence of the Lambs vibes.
In fact, the press release describes Shailene Woodley‘s main character as a “modern-day Clarice Starling,” of course the heroine played by Jodie Foster in the 1991 horror classic.
In To Catch a Killer, “A modern-day Clarice Starling, Eleanor (Shailene Woodley) is a young police investigator wrestling with the demons of her past when she is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator (Ben Mendelsohn) to help profile and track the work of a disturbed individual. As the police and FBI launch a nationwide manhunt, they are thwarted at every turn by the individual’s unprecedented behavior. Given her tortured psyche, Eleanor may be the only person who can understand the mind of their assailant and bring him to justice.”
Ben Mendelsohn and Jovan Adepo also star.
Damián Szifron and Jonathan Wakeham wrote the script.
