Overview
- A first-look photo released July 23 shows Davidson in heavy makeup, a long wig and colored contacts as he plays real-life mob enforcer Tommy Pitera.
- Production has moved into principal photography in Atlanta and the photo marks the project's shift from development to active filming.
- Davidson co-wrote the screenplay and serves as a producer on the adaptation of Philip Carlo’s book The Butcher: Anatomy of a Mafia Psychopath.
- The cast includes Camila Mendes, Simon Rex and Paul Walter Hauser, who is reported to portray DEA Agent Jim Hunt, the agent tied to Pitera’s capture.
- Pitera was a Bonanno family enforcer suspected of dozens of murders and convicted in 1992, and the film’s true-crime premise and Davidson’s tonal shift are likely to shape early audience and industry attention.
