Have you heard the story about the animal trainer who trained a chimp to skate with the Ice Capades before getting murdered by a serial killer? Well, don’t sweat it, because you will soon.
Zachary Quinto is reportedly set to star as said animal trainer in He Went That Way, a road-trip crime-thriller about this very thing. The Kissing Booth and Euphoria’s Jacob Elordi will costar as the serial killer who had a three-day encounter with a man who makes chimps skate. It’s a weird thing—but maybe not as weird as the film’s approach to making an ape get on the ice.
