The Barbie And Ken Of Serial Killers To Be Chronicled In Deadly

(andPOP) - The life and crimes of Canada's worst serial killing couple, Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo will be chronicled and debut in the United States later this year after likely hitting the Canadian cinemas first. The Hollywood film entitled Deadly will not come without controversy.

That 70?s Show star Laura Prepon, and Misha Collins will play the Barbie and Ken of serial murder respectively. The film?s initial release date in Canada will roughly coincide with Karla Homolka?s release from prison in July and according to Ontario?s Consumer Services Minister James Watson, there is absolutely nothing the province can do to thwart the film?s release based on the grounds that the heinous crimes took place within the province, and nor does the film review board have the power to fasten on a prohibitive rating in Ontario.

Deadly has been taking a heavy bashing prior to its release from many individuals including Ontario Premiere Dalton McGuinty who said, "I certainly will not be viewing that movie?and my advice is that others do the same."

Joining in to the prerelease bashing club was the father of schoolgirl killer Karla Homolka who was quoted as saying, "I don't want to see it?I don't want to go through all this anymore, that's why."

In addition, the families of murdered schoolgirls Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy were represented by a lawyer who was quoted as saying, "My clients are very disturbed that a movie is being made and someone wishes to profit from the tragedy they experienced."

Hollywood producer Michael Sellers acknowledges the controversy of his film, but also feels that true crime films are merited in Hollywood tradition, as was Oscar-winning film Monster, which chronicled the real life story of a female serial killer?s heinous acts of violence. Sellers has emphasized that our intention behind this movie is to encourage 'Predator Awareness.'

Seller stated, "I also made a commitment to myself to do nothing to dishonor the memory of the victims."

Deadly, debuting first in Canadian theatres as early as July and then U.S. theatres in early fall; will truly continue to bring about uproar as the release time ticks nearer.
