Kate Hudson & Casey Affleck in The Killer Inside Me
We’re gearing up for Sundance 2010 & keeping our eye on all its must-see films. We told you about James Franco in HOWL. And Katie Holmes in The Romantics. Now, let’s talk about Michael Winterbottom‘s stylish, neo-noir film The Killer Inside Me. The film stars Casey Affleck as a homicidal deputy sheriff, as well as Kate Hudson annnd Jessica Alba as the women in his life (armed with ruby-red lips, retro-curls and a whole lotta sizzle). The film, based on the novel by legendary pulp writer Jim Thompson, tells the story of an “unassuming small-town deputy…[with] women problems. Law-enforcement problems. And and ever-growing pile of murder victims in his west Texas jurisdiction. However, as evidence is discovered, suspicion begins to fall on the deputy himself.”

Aaron Tveit & James Franco as Peter Orlovsky & Allen Ginsberg.
It’s the most highly-anticipated film at this year’s Sundance film festival - yes, HOWL has the critics, beats and Franco-philes all drooling. Set in 1957 San Francisco, the film centers around “the tumultuous life events that led a young Allen Ginsberg to find his true voice as an artist, society’s reaction (the obscenity trial), and mind-expanding animation that echoes the startling originality of the poem [Howl] itself. The film, said to be “a genre-bending hybrid,” aims to capture a pivotal moment in our social history—the Zeitgeist of an era and the birth of a counterculture. …I know. I can’t wait to see it either. Read more
