‘Last Exorcist’ Team Partners with Highway Patrol to Hunt Down a ‘Psycho Killer’

Now that the Talking Heads song is stuck in your head, try to wrap your mind around the pairing of Last Exorcism director Eric Newman, producer Eli Roth, and Se7en screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker.

The story of Psycho Killer focuses on a highway patrol officer avenging the murder of her husband by tracking down the serial killer that offed him. According to Variety, a bulk of the story follows the serial killer.

The production is currently looking for a known, but not well known, leading lady. How badly do I want to suggest Frances McDormand despite her being super well known? Very badly.

Do you have any suggestions?
