Fabrice du Welz (Calvaire, pictured, and Vinyan) is back in TIFF with Inexorable and has already set his next, Maldoror, a thriller inspired by a true story, writes Variety.
“Maldoror follows Paul Chartier, a young policeman who became obsessed with a case involving a notorious child abuser after coming close to catching him.”
Belgian actor Benoit Poelvoorde, the star of Inexorable, stars.
The filmmaker is reteaming with his Belgian producer Jean-Yves Roubin (Titane) at Frakas Production on the project.
Roubin described Maldoror as a mix of thriller and film noir in a similar vein to David Fincher’s Zodiac, adds the site. “He said the film, now in development, was inspired by a notorious crime case that shook Belgium in the 1990s, known as the ‘Affaire Dutroux’.”
“Marc Dutroux was a convicted Belgian serial killer, rapist, and child molester who was sentenced to life in prison in 1996,” they explain.
“The movie will revolve around the cop who was tracking down Dutroux,” says Roubin, pointing out that du Welz fictionalized the character.
More casting as it comes in.
