We chat with David Dastmalchian about his initial reluctance to play a real-life serial killer in BostonStrangler, how he dived into the right headspace, and why he's so proud of the final product:
Warning: SPOILERS for Boston Strangler.Matt Ruskin's Boston Strangler approaches the brutal murder case of several Boston women from a different perspective than Richard Fleischer's 1968 biopic. Ruskin makes it his mission to share the untold story of Loretta McLaughlin and Jean Cole, two female reporters who worked for the Record-American newspaper.
I was going to ask you about what it was like to dive into that headspace. Like you said, this isn't just a character. This is based on a real serial killer. People don't want to acknowledge how hard it was then [and] how hard it still is today for women in journalism, in our society, to be able to make their voices known without having to go through so many added layers of gate keeping, of proving themselves, of overcoming bullsh*t, pardon my French.
You basically had half an hour in the morning, half an hour in the evening for your local news, maybe half an hour once a week for national news that you might get some coverage on the Boston Strangler, but really, your source of information and data was those printed papers that showed up on your porch every morning. And here are these women, trying to get the ink on those pages to get the information out to people to help. Knowledge is power.
