Joel Bender's KARLA to have its world première at Montréal's World Film Festival (Festival des Fil

Montréal's World Film Festival (Festival des Films du Monde) announced today in this press release that Joel Bender's true-crime movie Karla - formerly titled "Deadly" - is scheduled to have its world première at the 29th edition of the festival, which will take place from August 26th to September 5th. As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, there's a downloadable trailer for Karla here on the official website for the movie. From what I gather, Karla stars Laura Prepon as Karla Homolka, Misha Collins as Paul Bernardo, Cherilyn Hayres as Tammy Homolka, Sarah Foret as Kaitlin Ross (formerly Kaitlyn Frost) = Kristen French, and Kristen Swieconek as Tina McCarthy (formerly Leah Macarthy) = Leslie Mahaffy. (My source for the apparent new names of the Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy characters is the blog of Global News reporter Seán O'Shea - specifically, the June 20th entry "Deadly the Movie: Exclusive First Look" and June 23rd entry "Deadly The Movie: Part Two".)

Homolka and Bernardo have already been the subjects of several books, including Stephen Williams' Invisible Darkness: The Horrifying Case of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka and Karla: A Pact with the Devil.

In a related matter, there's still a downloadable trailer for Hiromu Nakamura's true-crime movie Concrete (Konkurîto) - also known by the bootleg title "Schoolgirl in Cement" - here on the official website for that movie. (Nakamura's most recent movie was Shinario raitâ ★ Matsumoto Mariko no kadai.)
