Academy Award winning director William Friedkin and actors Matthew McConaughey and Gina Gershon will participate in a TimesTalk entitled Stage to Screen on Tuesday, July 24 at 7:30pm.
New York Times media columnist and reporter David Carr will interview the artists on their new film together, Killer Joe, adapted from the play of the same name by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning playwright Tracy Letts.
The film centers on a young man whose life is in danger because of his debts and who attempts to collect on his evil mother’s insurance by putting a hit out on her.
