After his breakout role as classic horror haunt Pennywise the Clown in 2017’s It, Bill Skarsgård is back to play another alleged murderous villain in the forthcoming true-crime drama Gilded Rage, per Variety.
Based on The Billionaire’s Vinegar author Benjamin Wallace’s Vanity Fair article, the film details the story behind the famous murder of investment banker Thomas Gilbert Sr., whose death was originally thought to be a suicide. But further investigation suggested something more sinister.
Skarsgård will play the victim’s son, Thomas Gilbert Jr., who was arrested for his father’s murder and is still awaiting trial today.
