Costner's Serial Killer Flick to Spawn Sequels?
Filed under: Horror », Thrillers », MGM »
Kevin Costner's latest, the rather intriguing serial killer thriller Mr. Brooks, doesn't hit screens until June 1, but that hasn't stopped the star from broaching the topic of sequels -- which is kind of strange when you consider that Costner's never done a sequel! It was in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that the actor talked sequels: "''This was written with the idea that we would do a couple others ...When the writers first presented the notion to me, I said, 'Oh, bulls---! I haven't done Tin Cup 2, or Bull Durham 2, or Open Range: The Early Years, so you don't have to try to hook me with that.'
But when they told me their idea, the hair on the back of my neck stood up. We're hoping this little movie develops a following so we can play this story out the way it should.'' Co-starring Demi Moore, Dane Cook and William Hurt (in a role that looks pretty darn juicy), Mr. Brooks hails from the long-standing writing duo of Raynold Gideon and Bruce A. Evans, the guys who've penned movies very good (Starman, Stand By Me) and not-so-good (Cutthroat Island, Jungle 2 Jungle). Check out the trailer if you like.
Kevin Costner's Serial Killer Thriller Has a Trailer

When is a horror movie not a horror movie? When it stars at least two Oscar Winners -- and then it's called a "thriller." One such flick looks to be Mr. Brooks, a serial killer chiller in which Kevin Costner plays a Dr. Jekyll to William Hurt's Mr. Hyde -- or at least that's what it looks like to me. And from the "curious casting" department we have Demi Moore, still on the comeback trail, as a detective, Marg Helgenberger as the clueless wife and Dane Cook as somebody non-comedic. Anyway, check out the brand-new trailer if you like. It's a fairly schizophrenic promo clip, but I must admit the movie looks halfway intriguing.Mr. Brooks marks the directorial debut of veteran screenwriter Bruce A. Evans. He, along with partner Raynold Gideon, wrote Starman, Stand By Me and Renny Harlin's mega-budget flop, Cutthroat Island. You remember that one -- it was the movie that turned the studios off to pirate movies until Johnny Depp came along and changed all that. Mr. Evans also directed the 1992 Christian Slater cop comedy Kuffs. (Can't imagine how I forgot that one!) Mr. Brooks is scheduled to open June 1, opposite Gracie, Hot Rod and Knocked Up.
