Elizabeth Olsen to Play a Popular Axe Murderer: Look Who Else Has Played Killers?
On Monday, May 3, it was announced that the WandaVision star would star in a new HBO Max series as Candy Montgomery, a Texas woman accused of murdering her friend with an axe in 1980. Isn’t that the sort of thing you’d like to chop into?
Love and Death, a new series from TV writer and producer David E. Kelley, is inspired by John Bloom and Jim Atkinson’s book Evidence of Love: A True Story of Passion and Death in the Suburbs, as well as their Texas Monthly series. Director Lesli Linka Glatter, Nicole Kidman, Per Saari, Scott Brown, Megan Creydt, Matthew Tinker, Michael Klick, and Helen Verno are among the executive producers on Love and Death. Love and Death is “a compelling tale about the frustrations and wishes of two women in a small town that takes place in a horrific act of violence,” according to Sarah Aubrey, HBO Max’s head of original content.
An AXE Murderer
That is undoubtedly real, as a new TV series based on this chilling case is in the works. In July, it was revealed that Elisabeth Moss had signed on to play an axe murderer in Candy, a Universal Content Productions limited series currently in progress.
Of course, this isn’t the first time that the same murderer has been played by different actors. In two different films, both Jeremy Renner and Ross Lynch have played cannibalistic murderer Jeffrey Dahmer.
