After nearly two years of silence since the February 2019 announcement that Erik Larson’s 2003 bestseller about the 1893 World’s Fair, The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, was being developed as a Hulu miniseries, a report on one potential casting has surfaced.

Giant Freakin Robot reports that Robert Pattinson currently is in talks for the role of (alleged) serial killer H. H. Holmes in the historical drama. Pattison is known to many as the charming vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight film series and is just coming off another diabolical flick, The Devil All the Time (2020).
