Time moves by so quickly it’s hard to believe the Beltway sniper attacks occurred just shy of 11 years ago. As would be expected the story of the man, John Allen Muhammad, and teenager, Lee Boyd Malvo, that perpetrated the acts has now been made, but a little surprisingly it’s being hailed as something to watch.
Blue Caprice, named for the Chevrolet Caprice the two modified into something of a sniper’s nest to carry out their attacks, follow the attacks from the point of view of the two perpetrators, whose distorted father-son relationship facilitated their long and bloody journey across America. Isaiah Washington (“Grey’s Anatomy) and Tequan Richmond play the two leads under the direction of Alexandre Moors with a screenplay by R.F.I. Porto.
Sundance Selects will release the films in theaters on September 13 and on demand on the 17th. Check out the trailer and poster below.
