Casey Affleck has been known to take some pretty intense roles as of late. His first being the role of Robert Ford in The Assassination of Jesse James and then his work on his brother’s project, Gone Baby Gone. It looks like Affleck is going to step it up once again as Sheriff Lou Ford in the ultra-violent The Killer Inside Me.
The film is based on the novel by Jim Thompson, who also wrote the novels films such as The Grifters and The Getaway were adapted from. The original 1976 film starred Stacey Keach, who took on the role that Affleck is now running with.
The extended trailer shows off some of the intense moments (hopefully not all) from the film, such as some raunchy aggressive sex with both Jessica Alba and Kate Hudson, as well as a violent murder of one of them. This may just be the role that puts Casey Affleck on the map. The film has a lot of visual similarities to No Country for Old Men, which may help it come Academy Awards season.
Director Michael Winterbottom is the visual eye behind the remake. He directed a few other low-budget films such as A Mighty Heart and 24 Hour Party People. The Killer Inside Me also stars Bill Pullman, Simon Baker, Ned Beatty, and Elias Koteas. As of yet, it does not yet have a hard release date.
Check out the full, extended trailer after the jump. Some moments may be NSFW.

wat a nice ass
Are you kidding me? They used music from the Assassination of Jesse James (maybe even the trailer of it too) in this trailer?! What the heck dude. I thought that music was made for that movie specifically. booooo.
It’s been done plenty of times before. A big example is the main theme from the film ‘Stargate’. It was reused as the “main theme” for ‘Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow”. It all comes down to budget, what music the studio owns, and if they can get away with it without people realizing. I guess 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
cOol, but Kate Hudson need’s to give it up!
