Prime Video has released a poster and trailer for Killer Heat, the upcoming mystery thriller from director Philippe Lacôte.
Based on Jo Nesbø’s short story The Jealousy Man, the film stars Shailene Woodley as Penelope, a woman caught up in a love triangle who hires a private eye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) to investigate the murder of her brother-in-law (Richard Madden) when she becomes suspicious of the official police report. Watch the trailer below…
Killer Heat follows private eye Nick Bali (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), an American expat in Greece, hired to investigate the supposed accidental death of young shipping magnate Leo Vardakis (Richard Madden) on the island of Crete. The victim’s sister-in-law (Shailene Woodley) doesn’t believe the official police report. But what exactly happened to Leo, and why? Despite the sun-drenched beauty of its exotic Mediterranean locale, Nick finds darkness at every turn: where the rich and powerful Vardakis family rule like gods, where jealousies run deep, and anyone could be a suspect.
Killer Heat arrives on Prime Video on September 26th.
