Eric Bana and Terrence Howard are teaming up for a new thriller about the famous BTK killer. He killed his way, but not right away. His modus operandi was to bind, torture, and then end.
The movie's called Factor X, and unforunately it has nothing to do with the mutant comicbook X-Factor. It's all serial killing in this film. The movie's actually about capturing the real life BTK killer, more than a decade after he finished a killing spree which started in 1974 and ended in 1991. The movie gets its name from something in the taunting letters sent cops.
Ridley Scott is producing the movie and there's a chance he'll end up directing it too. The script being used is focuses on a counterterrorism expert (Howard) from Washington paired with a Wichita cop (Bana) who's spent his career chasing the sick serial murderer.
This isn't the first movie about the BTK killer. America's nearly as obsessed with serial killers as we are with tights wearing superheroes after all. Boogeyman director Ulli Lommel made a low budget version of it in 2005. No one noticed.
