In addition, Egerton spoke about what it was like to work with the New Jersey native on set, recalling to Entertainment Tonight how he “fell in love” with Liotta “immediately.”
“We developed a very, very, very close connection, and I had a very special time filming those scenes,” the Rocketman actor, 32, told the outlet. “I’m very pleased with how they turned out.”

Paul Walter Hauser (“Richard Jewell”) is also a movie buff — so it’s no surprise that he describes his Emmy-worthy turn as “Black Bird” serial killer Larry Hall in cinematic terms — including Hall’s “Vincent D’Onofrio in ‘Full Metal Jacket’ stare.”“I’d say for my process … is that if I treated [the role] some other way it takes the humanity out of it and I’m kind of leaning into this tendency to overact,” Hauser, 35, told The Post. “So rather than be like, ‘Wow, I’m playing a serial killer so I better get ready’ … [Hall] was a human before he was a murderer, before he was a rapist, so you don’t want to play a killer like a killer.
Apple TV+.The six-episode drama, adapted from James Keene’s 2010 book, “In With The Devil,” revolves around Keene (Taron Egerton, “Rocket Man”), a charismatic, armed-to-the-teeth Chicago drug dealer and son of an ex-cop (Ray Liotta in his final role) who, in 1996, is busted and sentenced to 10 years in prison.Shortly thereafter, he’s offered a deal: transfer to a maximum-security prison in Missouri and befriend high-talking, mutton-chopped serial killer Larry Hall (Paul Walter Hauser, “Richard Jewell”). If he can elicit a confession from the next-level-creepy Hall, who’s suspected in the murders of at least 14 young girls, Keene’s sentence will be commuted.

It’s become running commentary that 2022 has been positively bloated with quality television, from under-the-radar gems, soon-to-be cult favorites, and the obvious highlights with endings for long-standing favorites like “Better Call Saul” and the long-awaited return of “Stranger Things.” July is about the same, with plenty of new arriving series — many adaptations from books, comics, and video games— as well as returning standouts like FX’s little mockumentary that could “What We Do in the Shadows.” July sees not one but two series that play with audience nostalgia over the ’80s.
