Ahead of its big premiere at the Berlinale next week, we have the first clip from Tony Stone’s new film TED K where Sharlto Copley plays Ted Kaczynski, more widely known as the Unabomber. The film, which will premiere as part of the Panorama strand at the annual festival – which this year is virtual – draws from Kaczynski’s personal diaries and accounts from those who knew him during his life in hiding.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Ted K lives a life of almost complete seclusion in a simple wooden cabin in the mountains of Montana. But then this former university professor, who despises modern society and its faith in technology, becomes radicalised. What begins with local acts of sabotage, ends with deadly bomb attacks. To the outside world, Ted K becomes known as the Unabomber.
Based on Ted Kaczynski’s diaries and writings, Tony Stone’s film is a kaleidoscopic true crime journey into the life of one of America’s most complex and eccentric killers. It features a tour-de-force performance from Sharlto Copley who portrays the complexity of this unique outsider, raging at the forces of both the inescapable technological society that plagues him and his own inner demons.
Check out the clip from the film below. Obviously no release date as yet, but we’ll keep you posted with a review as the festival kicks into gear next week.
