Jessica Alba stars as a prostitute in an upcoming film adapation of The Killer Inside me. In the movie set in the 1950s, Casey Affleck stars as Lou Ford, a West Texas deputy sheriff who spirals downward. Starting as a bored small-town cop, he slowly turns into a ruthless, sociopathic murderer trying to cement his innocence when the evidence looks suspicious. Alba and Kate Hudson, in the meantime, portray a prostitute and Lou’s girlfriend respectively.

“The Killer Inside Me” is based on Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel which is described as “one of the most blistering and uncompromising crime novels ever written.” Michael Winterbottom, the director of “A Mighty Heart”, takes on the helming part, and Simon Baker, Ned Beatty and Bill Pullman are among the supporting cast. The movie aims for a summer 2010 U.S. release.
