Anna Kendrick's Directorial Debut: A True Crime Tale

Get ready to see a spooky story unlike any other! Anna Kendrick is making her debut as a film director and starring in the movie "Woman of the Hour. " This isn't your typical Hollywood thriller. It's based on the creepy but true tale of Rodney Alcala, a serial killer who even appeared on a popular TV game show during his crime spree. Anna plays Cheryl Bradshaw, an aspiring actress who meets Rodney on the show called "The Dating Game. " Can you imagine the chills? The movie aims to put a spotlight on heroes like Cheryl, rather than the villain. Anna's co-star, Daniel Zovatto, thinks she's a natural director. He said it feels like she's been doing it for years! Probably because Anna and the lead actress are the same person, making it easier to stay on the same page about the story they're telling. Instead of just recreating every exact detail, Anna wants to make a movie that hits you right in the feels. She felt angry and sad when she learned about all the injustices and police mistakes in this case. So, she made sure the movie isn't just about the facts but also about emotions. Daniel also learned a lot from the role. He even found that Rodney had a dark charm that made people feel comfortable around him. That's what makes this story so haunting, right? It's not just about fear, but also about deception. So, get ready to binge-watch "Woman of the Hour" on Netflix from October 18! It's more than just a scary tale; it's a reminder to stay aware and trust your instincts.
