Jessica Alba is spending the week in Park City, Utah — as she joins much of the rest of Hollywood in celebrating the 2010 Sundance Film Festival — but the screen stunner raised a few eyebrows when she walked out halfway through the world premiere of her grisly and graphic new crime drama The Killer Inside Me.
She wasn’t the only one.
According to reports, the film’s gory sex scenes and sadistic plotline proved too much for many viewers at the Sunday night screening. There was a massive number of walkouts in the 1,200-seat Eccles Theatre during the film’s first show over the weekend.
Adapted from Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel, Casey Affleck stars as Lou Ford, a small-town Texas deputy, whose cunning smile hides the homicidal sociopath that lies beneath. Jessica stars as a prostitute he becomes entangled with and Kate Hudson is the unsuspecting girlfriend caught somewhere in between.
Neither Affleck or Hudson were present for last night’s screening.
