Capote: In Limited Release September 30

In November, 1959, Truman Capote (Philip Seymour Hoffman) finds himself intrigued by an article telling of the murders of four members of a well-known farm family, the Clutters, in Holcomb, Kansas. The story presents the opportunity, he believes, to test his long-held theory that, in the hands of the right writer, non-fiction can become as compelling as fiction. Convincing The New Yorker to give him an assignment, he sets out for Kansas with his childhood friend, Harper Lee (Catherine Keener), who is about to become famous for To Kill a Mockingbird . When the killers are caught in Las Vegas and returned to Kansas, Capote visits them and befriends them, even as they are tried and sentenced to die. And his magazine article soon grows into a book, one that could rank with the greatest in modern literature: In Cold Blood . View the trailer for this upcoming drama.

Capote is rated R for some violent images and brief strong language, and is now playing in select cities, soon to be opening nationwide. Come back to Amazon.com Movie Showtimes for showtimes and locations in your area.
