Ben has grown on me over the years. Thought he was great in The Outsider (and Ready Player One).

Upvote for Wild Tales. That movie absolutely rips and more people should see it.

Ben Mendelsohn has become somewhat of a chameleon. He's also a fine wine that becomes better with age. What a great actor!

Jovan Adepo is one of the next greats. Excited to see him in this.

Jovan Adepo is always one the highlights of every film I’ve seen him in (‘Overlord’, ‘Fences’, & ‘Babylon’). I’ll watch anything he shows up in.

Mendelsohn is the best love him in pretty much everything one of the coolest Star Wars villains although he didn’t get much screen time to shine in rogue and his role in killing them softly as the druggie is prob one of the best drug related scenes I’ve ever seen

The film's title is Misanthrope now? or was before...

Wild Tales was so good so this seems promising

“To Catch a Killer” has been used a couple times now.

There’s been a made for tv movie starring Brian ‘I lied about being in Vietnam’ Dennehy about the serial killer John Wayne Gacy that was made in the 90’s and a tv show with the same name in 2018.

Is this movie about John Wayne Gacy or just lifting the title? This sounds like a Silence of the Lambs redo if it isn’t.

It’s simple: I see Ben Mendelsohn in a show/movie, and I watch it

Ben Mendelsohn playing a guy with his shit together? Can't be real

*Nvm he's a troubled police officer. Definitely does drugs or has a drinking problem.

She turned out to be a massively pretentious weirdo. Here's just some of the shit she's said.

> “I just want to drift. I’m just going to be a drifter… Maybe I’ll work in a tea shop. Or live in Amsterdam. Or be a nanny. Life experience only helps us as actors. I need new experiences to draw upon.”

> “My religion is the Earth, man. I believe in trees.”

> “I exclusively buy used clothes. I’m going to be a citizen of this planet, and I’m going to do my responsibility and live in stride with nature instead of constantly fighting against her.”

> “I think everything about my lifestyle is fairly alternative. I gather my own spring water from mountains every month. I go to a farm to get my food. I make everything from my own toothpaste to my own body lotions and face oils. I could go on for hours.”

> “I make my own medicines; I don’t get those from doctors. I make my own cheese and forage wild foods and identify wild plants. It’s an entire lifestyle. It’s appealing to my soul.”

> “I was 14, and my grandma is a naturopath, and she took my blood—she does live blood and cell analysis. She was like, ‘You should probably eat more vegetables, and microwaves are not great for you.’ And so I started doing research, and I haven’t used a microwave since.”

> “Another thing I like to do is give my vagina a little vitamin D. I was reading an article written by an herbalist I studied about yeast infections and other genital issues. She said there’s nothing better than vitamin D. If you’re feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine.”

Oh and the best one.

> “I’ve always sort of wondered what it’d be like kissing my brother.”

I can only imagine her being an utter fucking nightmare to work with.

This plot sounds so blah, but Wild Tales was such a singularly fun, unconventional movie, so I have hope. Maybe Szifron can inject some life and novelty into this formula?

Is it a remake of the 1992 Brian Dennehy, John Wayne Gacy movie to catch a killer?

Really liked Mendelsohn in The Outsider. Didn't love the ending of the series, personally, but he was outstanding. Looking forward to him in another similar role.

Barkblood t1_jae73tk wrote

Ben Mendelsohn is just brilliant. Seeing him in Animal Kingdom (film) as the crazy uncle was chilling.

He can turn a completely benign comment into something truly sinister. Google “Ben Mendelsohn Lion King” and watch him turn lyrics from “I just can’t wait to be king” into a creepy, threatening monologue.

Truly an Australian national treasure.

I was cast as an extra for this movie. It was my first ever experience and it didn't go well haha. I bumped into the boom guy at one point... Anyway, hope the movie's good.

I wonder if it was "inspired by" Johnnie To's Mad Detective?

“Sir, we’ve found a trail out back behind the building but all our dogs died of fentanyl poisoning, what should we do?”

“No worries, Sargent. We’ve got a secret weapon.”

Shailene Woodley Is Detective Cautious Clay. She can track anything if they’ve stepped on dirt or clay which she can eat.

Ben Mendelsohn starting to get Alan Rickman vibes.

Actually if they're totally going to reboot HP anyway Mendelson wouldn't be a bad casting for Snape.

Errr, that was his character though? His character was never a "badass", he was always a whiny, narcissistic, brown nosing psychopath that wanted to appear to be "badass" while always just being kind of pathetic.

Fantastic job on that though, giving his villain a ton of depth while still making him a fun villain to hate, while all the two main leads just look a bit lost.
