Netflix Buys 'The Devil All The Time' Starring Chris Evans, Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland & More

Way back in September 2018 (feels like ages ago, before fall film festivals and awards talk dominated our lives), we reported that a new film from director Antonio Campos, best known for his film “Christine,” was going to be shopped around with an absolutely stellar cast attached. Well, as you might have guessed, Netflix once again opened up its rather large bank account and has purchased the distribution rights to the film.

The Devil All the Time” is a new film starring Chris Evans, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, and Gabriel Ebert. The film is based on the 2011 novel of the same name from author Donald Ray Pollock and has one of the most interesting stories we’ve seen in a while.

This is how the novel is summarized online:

“In the backwoods of Ohio, Willard Russell’s wife is succumbing to cancer, no matter how much he drinks, prays, or sacrifices animals at his “prayer log.” Meanwhile, his son Arvin is growing up, from a kid bullied at school into a man who knows when to take action. Around them swirl a nefarious cast of characters—a demented team of serial killers, a spider-eating preacher, and a corrupt local sheriff—all braided into a riveting narrative of the grittiest American grain.”

Yes, please to all of that!

Also with the announcement that Netflix is on board to distribute the film, comes word that “It” star Bill Skarsgard and “Sharp Objects” standout Eliza Scanlen have joined this already-incredible cast.

As you might expect with a Netflix project, there’s no release date set for the film, but we’re willing to guess that this will get a prime date later in 2019 or 2020. We’ll definitely keep an eye out for this one.
