Hes played Tony Blair, David Frost and Dr, William Masters and now Golden Globe nominee Michael Sheen is making his feature directorial debut with Green River Killer. Adapting his 2015 Black List script, the Masters of Sex star also will star in the film as serial killer Gary Ridgway, who was convicted of 49 murders in the Seattle area in the 1980s and 1990s. QC Entertainment said today that it will produce and finance the project.
The film tells the story of police detective Tom Jensen, who spent 20 years looking for the notorious Green River Killer, and Ridgway (left), the man he eventually caught. Rideway was arrested in 2001 thanks to DNA evidence and is serving life in prison with no chance of parole. Sheens script is based on Dark Horse Entertainments graphic novel Green River Killer: A True Detective Story by Jensens son Jeff Jensen and artist Jonathan Case.
