I don’t always go when I read a story “Okay, well, this character needs to be redeemed”. What did you love about the material? Because, there’s not much redemption for anyone other than possibly Arvin. And then from there, it was many years of just working on the script and getting this cast together. I thought, well this something I’d love to do with my brother, who’s not a screenwriter, but has written short stories and prose.
I read the book because Randy Poster, who’s known as a music supervisor, gave me the book and he said, “I think you’d really like this and that if you like it, then we could do it together” and he would produce. When did you first come across the book and what made you hunger to turn that into a movie? “It’s a very long drawn out process.” Though he has two actual Avengers in his line up, this is a portrait of villains rather heroes and those trying to negotiate the world between two wars.Ĭampos chats to us via Zoom from his home in Chile about casting, building the world of Knockemstiff and the Godless fanatics that populate his film. “I wasn’t like Nick Fury showing up,” laughs Campos when he chats to us about building his cast. Robert Pattinson plays a predator preacher, Bill Skarsgard a damaged war veteran, Sebastian Stan a dirty cop and Jason Clarke and Riley Keough husband and wife serial killers. One of the standouts from the trailer is the incredible A-list cast brought together for this ensemble piece. This is the latest Netflix original to land, a pitch black drama set in the Ohio town of Knockemstiff where the corrupt and the lost intertwine in a mix of horror and tragedy.
Since the first sinister trailer for Antonio Campos’ adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s novel The Devil All the Time arrived, the film has caused quite a buzz.
