Hulu hit a couple of huge road bumps to get their series adaptation The devil in the white city in production. First, Keanu Reeves jump ship, and now we have learned that the director of the series, Todd camp, he also dropped out. The producers returned in search of a director and a leading actor.
It sucks that this project has problems. I wonder why talent is exciting. Probably creative decisions. This series is an adaptation of the book written by Erik Larson. The devil in the white city tells the true story of two men, “an architect and a serial killer, whose fates were forever linked by the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. Follows Daniel H. Burnham, a brilliant and meticulous architect racing to make his mark on the world and Henry H. Holmes, a handsome and cunning doctor who modeled his pharmaceutical “Castle of Murder” in a fairground: a mansion built to seduce, torture and maim young women. “
The series is said to take audiences on “a tour of murder, romance and mystery in the golden age”. Holmes admitted killing 27 people, but in fact he is said to have killed nearly 200 people. He built The World’s Fair Hotel, which was an inn where people could stay while visiting, and the sociopath used his charming demeanor to lure guests into his hotel, which has since become known as the castle. of the murder. The castle included a gas chamber, crematorium, and dissecting table where he would kill his victims and strip their skeletons to sell for medical and scientific studies. When Holmes was arrested, he told the police:
“I was born with the devil in me. I couldn’t help but be a killer, any more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing – I was born with the ‘villain’ standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was introduced to the world and has been with me ever since. “
Sam Shaw is writing the series and will act as showrunner. He will stick around !? The eight-episode series is expected to launch in 2024, with production set to begin next year.
