Find out who’s playing who in this grim and scary true story about the criminally insane.

Fans of true crime can’t wait for the July release of Apple TV+’s Black Bird, which will tell the story of Jimmy Keene. This grim, dark tale is based on real events and takes place inside a jail for the criminally insane where one of the Midwest’s most prolific killers and his new, curious acquaintance is being held.

Once a promising high school football star with a bright future ahead of him, Jimmy Keene has fallen prey to a drug ring and the allure of the criminal underworld.

After the prosecution has built its case, the young man of means will spend at least ten years behind bars. Keene, the son of a respected police chief, is offered a potentially life-threatening opportunity to escape his lengthy sentence.

For his freedom, he must make friends with a serial murderer in a high-security facility for the criminally insane and learn where his victims’ bodies are buried.

Dark and horrifying twists and turns abound in this story of a guy who went undercover for the FBI to secure his freedom, and of the friendship, he develops with a mad and sinister murderer. In this real-life account of the Larry Hall murders and the confessions Jimmy Keene received while imprisoned with the devil, we have collected all the evidence to reveal the truth about who did it and why.

• Taron Egerton as Jimmy Keene

Jimmy was a popular and talented football player at Kankakee Eastridge High School. He also had many supportive friends and a bright future. The previously promising football player was picked up by a big college, but instead of playing football, he became a prolific drug dealer. Keene was arrested for narcotics trafficking in 1996 and given a ten-to-life term.

Jimmy, the son of a highly distinguished police chief, looked for loopholes in his lengthy sentence. Keene was offered the choice between serving out his sentence in a minimum-security jail or being transferred to a maximum-security prison for the criminally insane so that he could go undercover for the FBI.

Once Keene arrives at the rundown prison, he is tasked with getting serial murderer suspect Larry Hall to confess and locating the bodies of his victims. They’ll release Keene if he helps them convict Hall, so long as he provides the evidence they need. Keene accepted the job in hopes of doing less time in prison, but he was unprepared for the ordeal that awaited him.

Taron Egerton will play the gangster who has to work his way out of prison. Egerton has been the lead in several biopics, including those based on the lives of Elton John (Rocketman) and Eddie Edwards (Eddie the Eagle), and is most recognized for his portrayal as Eggsy in the Kingsman film series.

The actor who plays Kingsman was named Action Star of the Year at the 2018 CinemaCon. Playing Keene, a prisoner who experienced violence at the hands of his fellow convicts will allow him to draw on his skills in action roles and fight choreography.

• Paul Walter Hauser as Larry Hall

Even though Larry Hall has been linked to the deaths of 40 women in Black Bird, police have only located the remains of one victim. Hall claims he is not a murderer, but he frequently murders women in his fantasies.

Despite the suspect’s claims that his visions are merely dreams, the police are concerned that he may escape from prison and resume his murderous ways if he is not convicted. Hall, an enthusiast about war reenactments, was arrested when police discovered ropes, knives, chemicals, and masks in his tan van, which he had used to pursue young females.

In both cinema and television, Paul Walter Hauser has portrayed a wide range of characters. In the upcoming 2021 Disney picture Cruella, he plays Horace, the dimwitted criminal sidekick of the stylish antihero. In comedies like Super Troopers 2 and Reno 911!, Hauser often plays characters he deems doofuses.

However, he is no beginner when it comes to serious roles. This year (2017), Hauser portrayed Shawn Eckhardt in the drama film I, Tonya. Hauser’s portrayal of the ice skater’s bodyguard was a spot-on imitation of the real-life character who played a significant role in the assault on Nancy Kerrigan.

Hauser has admitted that he was hesitant to play Larry Hall because, as he gets older, he finds genuine crime increasingly unsettling. The actor from BlacKkKlansman, however, thinks the Black Bird story is more about the bond between Hall and Keene than it is about blood and guts. Delia’s Gone and National Anthem, both rumored to be violent thrillers, are two other projects of Hauser’s that are currently in post-production.

To play Larry Hall, Hauser had to drastically alter himself, dropping 40 pounds and raising the pitch of his voice. The guy who played him in Cobra Kai wore prosthetics to replicate Hall’s signature muttonchop sideburns.

• Greg Kinnear as Brian Miller

Brian Miller, who was the head investigator at the Vermillion County Sheriff’s Office, was the one who directed the investigation into Larry Hall, who was accused of killing someone.

Miller delves into accusations made by young women who say that Hall followed and pursued them in his tan van and analyses how the suspect’s involvement in a military reenactment may link him to the location of the murders.

Greg Kinnear, who will be playing the unflappable sheriff, began his career in acting at the age of25, appearing in TV movies and taking on tiny roles. He will be playing the role in this upcoming production.

The skilled actor began his career in supporting roles and eventually rose to prominence, landing starring roles in films such as As Good as it Gets, You’ve Got Mail and The Last Song. Kinnear is well-known for the fantastic comedic parts that he has played, such as the aspiring actor Walt in the film Stuck on You, which was released in2003, and the aspiring motivational speaker Richard Hoover in the comedy Little Miss Sunshine, which starred Abigail Breslin.

The actor who played Sabrina is currently hard at work on a comedy film named The Present. In the movie, a smart young kid discovers that he can manipulate time and tries to influence the outcome of his parent’s divorce.
