Moviehole reports that Kinnear is in talks to star in the Australian horror flick "Worst Nightmares," which is about a serial killer who copies a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist's crime tomes on what people particularly fear, then craftily frames the author for the killings.
Kinnear is being considered to play the author, while actor Michael Vartan may win the role of the serial murderer.
With films like 'Wolf Creek' and 'Storm Warning' Australia is turning out some talented horror filmmakers.
Producer Alan Robinson's 'Worst Nightmares' is penned by critically praised writer Shane Briant.
Frederick King Keller, best known for his work in television' "24,"will direct.
If he accepts the role, Kinnear would be cast as Pulitzer Prize winning author Tom Nolan, drawn into a ruse to incriminate himself in the death of six murdered people who die identically as the victims from Nolan's latest best seller, they mysteriously die by means of their own Worst Nightmare.
"It's a really great script,"Robinson told Moviehole from his Sydney office. "We plan to shoot it this summer in Los Angeles".
