“Wow. What a formidable, terrifying woman.” Bleecker Street unveiled the promo featurette for A Talent for Murder, the latest feature directed by photographer / filmmaker Anton Corbijn. After the first trailer before, this video spends time discussing the script with all the actors. Corbijn’s first new narrative feature since making Life way back in 2015, and his latest since the doc Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis in 2023. This smoldering chamber thriller from director Anton Corbijn stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren + Alden Ehrenreich as opponents in a strange confrontation between a youthful literary agent and The Talented Mr. Ripley author Patricia Highsmith. A young man travels from New York to Switzerland to try to persuade iconic thriller writer Patricia Highsmith to write one final installment of her Tom Ripley series, with his efforts gradually turning more sinister. Along with Mirren & Ehrenreich, this one also stars Olivia Cooke & Juliet Stevenson. The mystery film hits theaters this month – which is why they’re giving it one last push to remind us it’s arriving soon. Are you curious to uncover the Hitchcockian mystery of this story?
