The Debt may be hitting theaters next week, but Sam Worthington and Jessica Chastain have also teamed up for another drama/thriller. We showed you an international trailer for Texas Killing Fields, but now an official US one has arrived. Produced by Michael Mann, and directed by his daughter Ami Canaan Mann the crime drama also stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chloe Moretz, Stephen Graham and Annabeth Gish. The trailer hints at a run-of-the-mill murder mystery and the TV-level production values aren’t enticing, but I’m interested to see what Mann offspring can produce and this cast is quite strong. Check it out below.
Synopsis:
This tense and haunting thriller follows a local homicide detective (Sam Worthington) in a small Texas town and his partner, a transplanted cop from New York City (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), as they track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims’ mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call “The Killing Fields”.
The killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When a familiar local girl, Anne (Chloe Grace Moretz), goes missing, the detectives find themselves in a race against time to find the killer and save her life.
Texas Killing Fields will make its premiere at the Venice Film Festival then hit theaters on October 7th.
What do you think of the first US trailer?
