Emerging UK screenwriter Ronald Moger introduces his latest feature script, Dealing With Crippen, an enthralling murder mystery reimagined with a Ripley-esque twist. Inspired by the notorious 1910 Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen case, this screenplay explores the dramatic tale of the American physician accused of murdering his wife and his subsequent botched escape to America.
The story takes a fresh angle by introducing a narcissistic playboy who exploits Crippen’s failing marriage for personal gain.
Dealing With Crippen delves into historical details, highlighting how Crippen’s attempt to flee in disguise was thwarted by the pioneering use of police radio communication. This suspenseful narrative combines a modern, atmospheric edge with the tension of a high-stakes pursuit, set against a backdrop of a troubled marriage and manipulation.
Moger reflects, “Crippen embodies a unique blend of victimhood and hidden darkness. This
film questions who you can trust when even your closest loved ones might betray you. It delves into paranoia, anxiety, and desperate actions leading to tragedy, resonating deeply into the 21st century.”
To amplify the film’s emotional depth, Moger has collaborated with acclaimed Finnish composer and music producer Johnny Lee Michaels. Known for his skill in creating powerful moods, Michaels will compose a haunting soundtrack to enhance the film’s gripping storyline.
Ronald Moger will be in Los Angeles from September 11th to the 23rd, attending the esteemed Calabasas Film Festival and meeting with production companies and industry professionals to bring Dealing With Crippen to the screen.
This presents a unique opportunity for collaborators to contribute to the development of this captivating and thought-provoking feature.
