One of the downsides to Disney buying 20th Century Fox was that many movies that were supposed to be in theaters got moved to streaming. Some of these films felt like they were streaming and would have had a hard time finding a place at the box office, while others, Prey being the most obvious one, felt like a shame that they didn't get a chance to be seen on the biggest screen possible. 2023 looks like it's going to be another year with more releases, and we have a look at one coming soon. It has a pretty impressive cast featuring Keira Knightley, Carrie Coon, Alessandro Nivola, and David Dastmalchian. It's a historical crime thriller called Boston Strangler based on the first journalist to connect the Boston Strangler murders. Here are the first images, the summary, and the cast list.
