Release date: June 1 Cast: Evan Peters, Barry Keoghan, Blake Jenner, Jared Abrahamson Directed by: Bart Layton (The Imposter) Why we're excited: This ripped - from - the - headlines heist film
mixes narrative storytelling with documentary - style interviews of the actual young men who plotted to steal valuable rare books from the special collection of a Kentucky university's library.
With a
narrative that unfolds in a procession of photographs, sketches, scrap paper, wine labels,
mix - CD playlists, IM sessions, TV stills, letters sent home from school, and other bits of visual imagery overlaid by short bursts of text, this is a book that plays with the boundaries between novel, graphic novel, scrapbook, and multiplatform
storytelling.
Add the deadly serious tone and the unlikeable protagonist to the
mix and it's clear no - one will be drawn to Sniper Elite III for its stunning
storytelling, although what
narrative is there serves efficiently enough to keep Karl moving around Africa and shooting people.
