Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon hunt the Boston Strangler in first look at true-crime thriller

January 3, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

20th Century Studios has released the first images from writer-director Matt Ruskin’s true crime thriller Boston Strangler, which offer a look at stars Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon as the reporters who broke the story of the notorious murders; take a look here…

Boston Strangler follows Loretta McLaughlin (Keira Knightley), a reporter for the Record-American newspaper, who becomes the first journalist to connect the Boston Strangler murders. As the mysterious killer claims more and more victims, Loretta attempts to continue her investigation alongside colleague and confidante Jean Cole (Carrie Coon), yet the duo finds themselves stymied by the rampant sexism of the era. Nevertheless, McLaughlin and Cole bravely pursue the story at great personal risk, putting their own lives on the line in their quest to uncover the truth.

Boston Strangler arrives on Disney+ on March 17th, and stars Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, David Dastmalchian, Morgan Spector, Bill Camp, and Chris Cooper.
