KILLER JOE ...from William Friedkin, stars Matthew McConaughey, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon.

William Friedkin‘s “Killer Joe” was the best surprise we had in Venice this year, arguably “The Exorcist” director’s best film in decades, a grimy, nasty, hugely enjoyable black comedy with excellent performances from Matthew McConaughey, Juno Temple, Thomas Haden Church and Gina Gershon. According to Deadline, producer Mickey Liddell is in talks for the rights to the film. Slightly unusually, as his Liddell Entertainment isn’t a distributor, the company will seek another company to partner with them in the film’s release.
