I can dig it

Disappointed that Keanu is no longer tied, but glad Leo and Marty are!

fakehappy.monster•45 days ago

Do you know who Keanu was looking to play? I hadn’t heard of this

dustin0831.bsky.social•45 days ago

I just heard he was tied to it and Marty was directing it. It would be exciting for those two to work together.
Not sure what Keanu’s part would be, presumably the serial killer.

Interesting, thank you! H H Holmes had a huge mustache and now I can’t help imagining how bizarre that would’ve looked on Reeves

I have never read the book, but it is in my Goodreads to read shelf.

HH Holmes

This sounds like it’ll be a hit

I read the non fiction titled book “Devil in the white city” years ago, this story would make a fantastic movie.

mattloggins.bsky.social•46 days ago

Larsen's book on this is fantastic.

Doubt they can touch what was achieved on the book level.

pearlz176.bsky.social•45 days ago

And this material may be more suited to a HBO mini series

flentrop.bsky.social•45 days ago

Now that's what I call entertainment.

sevnty6.bsky.social•45 days ago

couldn't recommend this book more, fantastic read

Other, better actors also available.
Smaller, more pragmatic budgets also available.

hsthompsontequila.bsky.social•46 days ago

So Scorsese not doing a Jesus movie now?

Fun and interesting read!

The story of HH Holmes is bewildering

Yessss

I loved that book! I even got to meet Erik Larson a few years ago and sat and talked with him for a few minutes about the book.

emerantura.bsky.social•44 days ago

Did you?? it’s so fascinating

couple2tree.bsky.social•45 days ago

Read Erik Larson's excellent book on which the proposed film is based. Indeed, read any of his excellent books.

oohlacle.bsky.social•46 days ago

Man I hope this sticks. I love that book so much.

ctrev3than.bsky.social•45 days ago

bad book, probably bad movie, and horrific

nkevros.bsky.social•45 days ago

My dad always talked about this book, but I never realized it was about a serial killer? Why in the world would he have left that out? He kept talking about the World's Fair and the historical references...

captaincrankdat.bsky.social•45 days ago

the book is half about the serial killer and half about the architects building the World’s Fair. It works together a lit better than it sounds and the architecture stuff is ridiculously interesting and more memorable tbh.

nkevros.bsky.social•45 days ago

Well, that explains it then. Thanks!
