Here are some more images of Charlie Hunnam as Ed Gein:

I know there were some complaints that Hunnam was too handsome to play Gein, but they seem to have Geined him up well enough.

When the project was announced, Variety reminded us thatEd Gein, who also hailed from Wisconsin like Dahmer, became infamous in the 1950s when authorities discovered that he not only had killed multiple people, but had dug up graves from a cemetery near his home and fashioned all manner of household items and clothing from human remains. Gein’s case served as an inspiration for several major pop culture characters later on, including Norman Bates inPsycho,Leatherface and his family inThe Texas Chainsaw Massacre,and Buffalo Bill inThe Silence of the Lambs.

Hunnam is joined in the cast by Laurie Metcalf (Scream 2) as Augusta Wilhelmine Gein, Ed Gein’s mother; Tom Hollander (Feud) as iconic director Alfred Hitchcock, and Olivia Williams (Rushmore) as Alma Reville, Hitchcock’s wife.
