EXCLUSIVE: Christine and Simon Killer director Antonio Campos has set up his next film just in time to be a hot Toronto sales package. Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska, Chris Evans and Tracy Letts are in talks to star in The Devil All the Time. The pic is an adaptation of Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel that Campos and Paulo Campos penned. Antonio Campos will direct. The film will be produced by Randall Poster, and Jake Gyllenhaal and Riva Marker of Ninestories Productions. Production is set to get underway in February 2019.

The novel’s plot: In a place called Knockemstiff, Ohio, a forgotten backwoods of this country – a storm of faith, violence and redemption brews. Out of desperation to save his dying wife, our protagonist Willard Russell turns to prayer which succumbs to sacrifice. His son Arvin (Holland) is growing from a kid bullied at school into a man who knows when to take action. The cast of characters includes a serial killer couple, a faith-testing preacher and a corrupt local sheriff (Evans) in a story told across two decades.

The Devil All the Time now joins other film projects on the burner for Campos, who has signed on to rewrite and direct the Fox Searchlight horror film Splitfoot, and is aboard to direct a prequel to The Omen for 20th Century Fox.

Campos is coming off last year’s critical hit Christine, and has been busy on the TV side of late, directing and executive producing USA’s The Sinner starring Jessica Biel. As a producer, his credits include Martha Macy May Marlene, James White, The Eyes of My Mother and Piercing.

Endeavor Content is raising the financing and will broker distribution.

There were some, erm, detractors who thought that Chris is a pretty face who only acted in comic book movies and as such would struggle to find a job after his time was finished in the MCU.

We, of course, know that - while he does have a pretty face - he's more than a comic book actor and is actually a very, very talented and popular actor.

That's been an opinion kicked around in some circles but it was always nonsensical. Not only has Cap made him enormously world famous to the point his name in a film can get it green lighted but he was starring and co-starring in movies for a decade pre Cap and during Cap.

Amazon summary

"Brutally creative. . . . Pollock knows how to dunk readers into a scene and when to pull them out gasping."--The New York Times Book Review

“Fulfills the promise in [Knockemstiff]. . . . Invites comparisons to Flannery O’Connor and Raymond Carver.” –USA Today

"Finely woven. . . . throat-stomping Appalachian crime story." –GQ

“For fans of No Country for Old Men . . . sure to give you goose bumps.” —Details

"Should cement Pollock's reputation as a significant voice in American fiction." —Los Angeles Times

"Will have you on the edge of your seat." —Christian Science Monitor

“A systematic cataloguing of the horror and hypocrisy that festers in the dark shadow of the American dream.” —The Portland Mercury

“You may be repelled, you may be shocked, you will almost certainly be horrified, but you will read every last word.” —The Washington Post

“Disarmingly smooth prose startled by knife-twists of black humor. . . . Expertly employs the conventions of Southern Gothic horror.”— The Wall Street Journal

"Reads as if the love child of O'Connor and Faulkner was captured by Cormac McCarthy, kept in a cage out back and forced to consume nothing but onion rings, Oxycontin and Terrence Malick's Badlands."--The Oregonian

"[Pollock] doesn't get a word wrong in this super-edgy American Gothic stunner."--Elle

"Features a bleak and often nightmarish vision of the decades following World War II, a world where redemption, on the rare occasions when it does come to town, rides shotgun with soul-scarring consequences."--The Onion, A.V. Club

"Mr. Pollock's new novel is, if anything, even darker than the Knockemstiff, and its violence and religious preoccupations venture into Flannery O'Connor territory."--The New York Times

“Donald Ray Pollock’s engaging and proudly violent first novel…suggests a new category of fiction—grindhouse literary. Subtle characterization: check. Well-crafted sentences: check. Enthusiastic amounts of murder and mayhem: check, check.”—The Daily Beast

"Beneath the gothic horror is an Old Testament sense of a moral order in the universe, even if the restoration of that order itself requires violence."--The Columbus Dispatch

"A smorgasbord of grotesque characters trapped in a pressure-cooker plot. . . . Brutal fun."--Esquire

"For a first novel so soaked in stale sweat and bright fresh blood, Pollock's sweat is well-earned, and his blood is wise."--Philadelphia Citypaper

"A gallery of reprobates and religious fanatics... are multidimensional, flawed human beings."--Dayton Daily News

"[The Devil All the Time is] a world unto its own, a world vividly and powerfully brought to life by a literary stylist who packs a punch as deadly as pulp-fiction master Jim Thompson and as evocative and morally rigorous as Russell Banks."—Philadelphia Inquirer

“Stunning . . . . One wild story . . . gives us sex, murder, mayhem and some of the most bizarre characters in fiction today.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch

pretty face~~

I felt that perhaps Americans loved Hemsworth`s face more than Evans, because Hemsworth won many good offers easily than Evans. But my friends and I think that Evans is the one who has a fine face in Hollywood, not Hemsworth. In my opinion, hemsworth looks like a big lug with simple mind and strong body,I thought I had a different aesthetic standards from Americans.

I know. I know.  e-wall

He's kind of had that struggle since forever. His good looks can be a double edged sword. A successful actor of any gender who is known for their attractiveness is going to get people putting their success down to their looks. They have a little bit more to prove in a way. I do remember when Chris did one of his temporary likes on Twitter to a comment an actress had put about being plagued by thoughts that no-one would like them if they didn't look they way they did. Chris has also had the joy of being in a few films that either missed the mark or were good films but not commercially successful.

As a follow on from this, opinion on him traditionally fell into two camps. The people who'd actually seen all his performances and those who hadn't. The people who had seen him knew him to be a gem. He's never put in a bad performance and has often been pointed out as the best part of a film. The ones who hadn't were probably relying on his appearance in Fantastic Four and then as Cap, which is actually enough to show his versatility but still limited. Sometimes they'll have actually seen him in something else and not realised it was him. The fact that SO many people were sceptical about him taking on Cap at first because they saw him as a Johnny Storm personality shows how little those people knew about him.

He has now, I am sure, convinced the industry and those who are paying attention that he is one of the best actors of his generation and that he offers what is so important to all actors if they want to be successful. Himself. A unique way of doing things that only he can do that makes you sit up, listen, believe and care. He Evanses his roles. His CV is packed now with great performances and his role in Lobby Hero has played a great part in this too.

HOWEVER  .... there are STILL millions out there who only know him from his role as Cap and just as many who are so taken with his looks that they don't take the time and effort to look further. Most of his mentions on Twitter to be honest are about him as a man/boyfriend/husband and I suspect that sticking to our 'credo' of being career focussed probably costs us followers for our Twitter account although the ones we do have are wonderful. Apart from the ones with nineteen digits as part of their handle because they don't even exist.
So troops, there is still work to be done and we still have a reason. There are still people alive who don't know. Onwards and upwards!!!  e-hiphiphoray

That's cool by me. Maybe we don't have tens of thousands of followers but like you say the ones you do have are genuinely interested in Chris. Actually, I reckon you'll hit 3000 by Dec which is pretty good. I like our credo as you put it. If we're just the same as everyone else I see no real point.

This is the kind of stuff I love to read on here. Beautiful.

Great news indeed. These are the types of films i would like Chris to do more often. I was very interested in this project since Robert Pattinson talked about it last year. Based on the synopsis and from what i've read on other websites, i think Chris doesn't have a big role, but that's ok - small but memorable is always good. Great cast so far, i wonder who will sign on for the other roles. I'm really looking forward to this one. BIG thumbs up !

Chris Evans, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska And Tom Holland On For The Devil All The Time

If he was looking to grab a cast that would get buyers interested in his next film, Christine director Antonio Campos has certainly done a good job. Chris Evans, Robert Pattinson, Mia Wasikowska and Tom Holland are all joining The Devil All The Time.

Campos worked with Paolo Campos to adapt Donald Ray Pollock's 2011 novel. The film takes place in Knockemstiff, Ohio, a forgotten backwoods of the States – a storm of faith, violence and redemption brews. Out of desperation to save his dying wife, our protagonist Willard Russell turns to prayer which succumbs to sacrifice. His son Arvin (Holland) is growing from a kid bullied at school into a man who knows when to take action. The cast of characters includes a serial killer couple, a faith-testing preacher and a corrupt local sheriff (Evans) in a story told across two decades. The casting marks two reunions from recent films, with Pattinson and Wasikowska seen in Western comedy Damsel and Evans and Holland – albeit not sharing screen time – in some big release this year about heroes fighting a gauntlet-wearing threat. We forget the name, possibly because of all the dust around.

Tracy Letts is also aboard the drama, which Jake Gyllenhaal's Ninestories company is backing. Campos will have the cameras rolling in February, and the distribution rights will be for sale at the Toronto Film Festival market.
