New BTK Movie

Has anyone heard about a new movie coming out about BTK's life? I was sitting in the doctor's office yesterday and I was glancing thru a local penny-saver magazine and it had the article in its entertainment section.The content was that the new movie will be out in 2013 and that the guy chosen for the role of Billy is Ben Foster.I think he would make an awesome Billy if this story is legit.He did a good job playing a gunslinger in 3:10 to Yuma and I also liked his character in Liberty Heights.He played that devil may care personality to a tee so I feel like he could pull off Billy's persona quite well.I think he also looks like Billy so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens in the near future.

I can not place Ben Foster, I will have to look him up. I always thought Lucas Black (Sling Blade and Friday nite lights) would make a good Billy.

I doubt this movie will please BTK- or OldWest-insiders. Because if a movie is made that needs to make money you almost always have to twist things for the sake of entertainment. Look at the last 100 years...basically NO Western with 95+% authentic play.

You are probably right Pippin

I looked up Ben Foster I had forgotten about it until a few minutes ago Anyway he would make a very good Billy. His looks are sort of how BTK was described

Sadly i have to agree but i have to admit i did enjoy Jessie James with Brad Pitt i thought he did a good job.

The movie might catch on with the public and be a success.I'm not going to knock it until I watch it.I can't express enough at how well I believe Ben Foster can bring the real BTK to the screen.I hope this movie is in the works because we all need a good dose of Billy the kid every now and then.

I hope the movie happens and that it sticks to history. I had to look up the actor mentioned and was shocked to find out the guy whose picture I was looking at was the same guy from 3:10 to Yuma. He definately could look the part if they can make him younger looking and based on his performance in Yuma he can definately act.

He is an awesome actor or at least I think so.I watched him in 30 days of night not long ago.That is one freaky movie to watch by yourself at 3a
