DVD: Ulli Lommel's KILLER PICKTON, starring Curtis Graan, Jillian Swanson, Heidi Rhodes, Kate Hacket

Peacock Films Pty. Ltd. plans to release Ulli Lommel's Killer Pickton on DVD in Australia in October. The movie is a fictionalized account of the real-life serial murder of "as many as 125 Vancouver-based prostitutes and drug addicts over a twenty-year period" - although by the standards of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), it may constitute a "non-fiction film"/"documentary" (cf. J.T. Petty's S&man).

According to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the screenplay for Killer Pickton was written by Lommel and Jeff Frentzen; the movie stars Curtis Graan, Jillian Swanson, Heidi Rhodes, Kate Hackett, Anjeanette Stairs, Lauren Kruskall, Jill Pennington, Frank Godek, Marilyn Cortez, and Victoria Holland.
