Oscar Isaac to Star in Edward Berger's 'Helltown' Adaptation

Moon Knight star Oscar Isaac is in talks to star in "Helltown", the crime-thriller series being developed at Amazon Studios.

Additionally, it has been reported that recent Academy Award winner and All Quiet On the Western Front director and co-writer Edward Berger is attached to direct.

Helltown will be an adaptation of Casey Sherman's 2022 true crime novel "Helltown: The Untold Story of a Serial Killer on Cape Cod."

The novel tells the story of American serial killer Tony Costa who was convicted of killing two people in 1969 but is suspected of killing more.

If Isaac signs on to the project, he is expected to play Vonnegut, who at the time was a struggling writer who became obsessed with homicide and eventually formed a connection with Costa.

Isaac is an Emmy Award-nominated actor who has appeared in some of the most critically acclaimed and beloved films and series in recent years. 

He's been in huge films like Dune and the Star Wars trilogy, and he'll also lend his voice to Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse later this year.

He has also received much praise from fans and critics for his performances in series like Disney+'s Moon Knight and HBO's Scenes From A Marriage.

Whatever his project, Isaac always puts on a show that gets people talking. So, casting him in Hilltown seems like a no-brainer.
