Jacob Elordi To Star With Zachary Quinto In True Crime Thriller 'He Went That Way'

Jacob Elordi is racking up his list of upcoming movies!

It was just announced that the 23-year-old The Kissing Booth 3 actor will star in a true crime thriller titled He Went That Way, according to Deadline.

The upcoming film is set in 1964, and is based on “the strange but true crime story of celebrity animal trainer Dave Pitts and his famous TV chimp, Spanky, centerpiece of the traveling extravaganza The Ice Capades, and his fateful three-day encounter with the serial killer Larry Lee Ranes.”

Jacob will star as Bobby Falls, who is based on Larry Lee Ranes, and he will be joined by Zachary Quinto as Jim Goodwin, based on Dave Pitts.

The role of Zippy the chimp, who is based on Spanky, “will be a fusion of a suited character actor and animatronics created by Legacy Effects.”

“He Went That Way is a undoubtedly a journey of curious tensions and bonds between two and at times three interesting characters all on their own path,” director Jeffrey Darling said in a statement. “A cinematic tale on the road across the U.S. in the early ’60s where people come with a rawness forged from the landscapes they inhabit. It is for our two leads Jacob and Zachary as well as myself, a great opportunity to explore with an improvised sensibility.”
