One of the projects left unproduced by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick is finally movie forward. Michael C. Hall will star in God Fearing Man which was written by Kubrick and is currently being shopped around as a potential miniseries by independent studio Entertainment One. It’s based on the true story of Canadian minister turned safecracker Herbert Emerson Wilson, who stole nearly $16 million as an American bank robber in the early 20th Century.
THR reports that Hall will star as Wilson and also executive produce the project alongside Steve Lanning and Philip Hobbs. Hobbs worked with Kubrick for more than 15 years on projects including FULL METAL JACKET. Hall seems like a great choice for the role; he has been around the TV game for a long time with Emmy award winning performances in Dexter and a nomination for Six Feet Under. He also sought out some independent movies over the last year with KILL YOUR DARLINGS and COLD IN JULY.
I would say I’d like to see more of him at the movies, but this miniseries makes me believe he’s fine right where he is.
