“How to Make a Killing,” initially named “Huntington,” features Powell in a dark and twisted narrative where his character must eliminate his own family to claim his inheritance. The film is John Patton Ford’s second directorial endeavor, following the critically acclaimed “Emily the Criminal.”
Behind the Scenes and On-Screen Talent
The film showcases a blend of seasoned and emerging talents including Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Ed Harris, Topher Grace, and Bill Camp. Ford, who also wrote the screenplay, originally had the script featured on the 2014 Black List, a roundup of Hollywood’s most liked unmade scripts. Initially set to be directed by Jon S. Baird with a different cast, Ford took over the directorial reins in 2023, casting Powell in the following year.
Production took place in Cape Town, which not only provided stunning backdrops but also involved local South African cast, crew, and extras, enriching the film’s authentic feel.
Plot and Ambitions
The official synopsis paints a grim picture of Becket Redfellow’s (played by Powell) life, a man disowned at birth by a wealthy family, who is ready to go to any lengths to regain his birthright. This narrative sets a dark, intense tone for the movie, promising a thrilling cinematic experience.
Director’s Vision and Philosophical Insights
John Patton Ford expressed his views on the thematic undertones of his projects at Sundance 2022, discussing “Emily the Criminal.” He highlighted the disillusionment with societal norms and the realization that the rules often benefit those at the top, at the expense of others. This perspective seems to weave into “How to Make a Killing” as well, suggesting a critical look at wealth, inheritance, and familial bonds.
