Salma Hayek to play serial killer

Salma Hayek has signed on to play a Serial Killer in the upcoming crime flick LONELY HEARTS. She will play a real 1940’s serial killer named Martha Beck who found her victims through personal adds. Strangely enough, Beck was known as a very rotund woman, weighing it at over 200 pounds. Hopefully Hayek won’t gain weight or wear a fat suit to make the film historically accurate.

If the story sounds familiar, it’s because there is already a well known cult film inspired by the case. That would be THE HONEYMOON KILLERS (1970). That flick is definitely worth a watch. In fact, the Criterion Collection has released a very nice version of it which you can buy at amazon.com.
