Deadline:
Warner Bros. has acquired Boston Strangler, a thriller pitch about the desperate search for the murderer who terrorized the Boston area during the early 1960s. Kevin McCormick‘s Warner-based Langley Park shingle will produce, and the pitch was bought from Casey Affleck and fellow Boston native screenwriter Chuck Maclean. Affleck hopes to star as one of the detectives who were part of the Strangler Squad responsible for solving the crime, and he will be exec producer.
This would be an interesting story if it's told right.
Casey Affleck's voice really limits him, I feel. It's not the most authoritative or pleasant voice to listen to.
