Anna Kendrick's directorial debut, 'Woman of the Hour,' has generated buzz following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The film, based on the chilling true story of serial killer Rodney Alcala, explores his appearance on 'The Dating Game' in the 1970s while he was on a murder spree. Kendrick stars as Cheryl Bradshaw, the woman who chose Alcala as her date, unaware of his heinous background. The film features Daniel Zovatto as Alcala, delivering a performance that promises to leave a lasting impression. The trailer hints at a gripping narrative that juxtaposes Alcala's charm with his sinister actions. Although Netflix acquired the film for $11 million, a release date has yet to be announced, but a fall 2024 premiere is anticipated.
