Carrie Coon (Gone Girl, Ghostbusters: Afterlife), Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) and Chris Cooper (American Beauty, Homecoming) are set to join Keira Knightley in 20th Century’s Boston Strangler, which is being written and directed by Matt Ruskin (Booster, Crown Heights).

Deadline reports the following synopsis:

Based on the infamous Boston Strangler murders, this is the true story of Loretta McLaughlin, the first reporter to connect the murders and break the story of the Strangler. She and fellow reporter Jean Cole challenged the sexism of the early 1960s to report on the city’s most notorious serial killer and worked tirelessly to keep women informed. Loretta pursued the story at great personal risk and uncovered corruption that cast doubt on the true identity of the Boston Strangler.

This is shaping up to be a great movie with an incredible cast. I hope it is able to tell a great story. The film begins shooting in December in Boston. Are you looking forward to the telling of the story of the Boston Strangler?
