“The Sinner” creator and “Simon Killer” director Antonio Campos helms this adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s novel about a group of bizarre characters and how their lives unfold from the end of World War II to the 1960s in rural southern Ohio and West Virginia. Amongst them are Robert Pattinson as a spider-handling preacher, Tom Holland as a young man with violent tendencies, Chris Evans as a corrupt sheriff, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, and the young man’s war veteran father offering blood sacrifices to cure his sick wife. Mia Wasikowska and Mia Goth also star in this very Flannery O’Conner-esque sounding bit of Southern (or rather mid-west) Gothic fiction and could prove a critical hit, but it won’t appear until year’s end at the earliest.

Stan Replaces Evans In “Devil All The Time”

Netflix’s original feature “The Devil All the Time” is swapping out one “Captain America” star for another.

Sebastian Stan will replace Chris Evans in the film after Evans had to depart due to scheduling conflicts. Stan will appear alongside Tom Holland, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Robert Pattinson, Riley Keough, and Bill Skarsgard.

The story is based on Donald Ray Pollock’s southern gothic novel which takes place in a forgotten backwoods Ohio town where a storm of faith, violence and redemption brews.

Out of desperation to save his dying wife, Willard Russell turns to prayer which succumbs to sacrifice. This sets his son (Holland) on the path from bullied kid to a man who knows when to take action.

A serial killer couple, a faith-testing preacher, and a corrupt local sheriff also figure into the action. Antonio Campos helms from a script he co-wrote with Paulo Campos while Jake Gyllenhaal, Riva Marker, Randall Poster and Max Born are producing.
