Kill Your Darlings (2006 film)

Kill Your Darlings is a 2006 film directed by Björne Larson and written by Björne Larson and Johan Sandström. In an interview with Svenska Dagbladet, Larson said that the film is based on a real event in his life when he met a seemingly nice man at an internet cafe in Los Angeles who ended up leaving Larson bound and restrained in a desert.[2] The film features a cast of many of the most popular contemporary Swedish actors (Fares Fares, father and son Stellan and Alexander Skarsgård, and Andreas Wilson from Oscar-nominated Evil) and some less famous U.S. actors Julie Benz and Greg Germann, and Canadian Lolita Davidovitch.
