Hollywoodreporter.com has been published the reveal of ‘Texas Killing Fields’
This cop procedural has grown to dominate adult-oriented broadcasting around the world in recent years, and while Stuart Dryburgh’s 35mm cinematography in Texas Killing Fields is best appreciated in theaters, overall treads territory long since made familiar by CSI and its many variants and offshoots. A just-OK second feature from Ami Canaan Mann – daughter of Michael Mann, one of two credited producers here – and the latest outing for Avatar and Clash of the Titans’ Sam Worthington, the film will undoubtedly obtain much more exposure than its predecessor Morning, an indie that made little impact a full decade ago.
Somewhat generously included in the main competition section at Venice, it’s scheduled for a limited Stateside release in early October. Despite the presence of some notable names at the top of the cast including the currently ubiquitous Jessica Chastain, the steadily-paced drama looks more of a small-screen proposition.
