Ridley Scott and Casey Affleck Tackling 'The Kind One'
New period noir drama brings on heavy hitters
Casey Affleck
Yup, I consider Casey Affleck a "heavy hitter". Ever since he sang, "Thought I had a double burger," in Good Will Hunting I have loved this kid. It is nice to see he is finally getting some recognition after the release of Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James. To follow that up he is now going to star in Ridley Scott's The Kind One and Warner Bros.
The film is based on the novel by Tom Epperson, which is set in 1930s Los Angeles, centering on an amnesiac who finds himself working for a mobster — a killer given the nickname "the Kind One" — and falling in love with the thug's girlfriend.
Epperson will adapt his own novel.
