Anna Kendrick said that she felt “gross” making money off her Netflix movie about a real-life serial killer, so she donated the profits to two charities that help victims of assault.
The “Pitch Perfect” star made her directorial debut with “Woman of the Hour,” which is based on prolific murderer Rodney Alcala, aka “‘The Dating Game’ Killer.” On the latest “Crime Junkie AF” podcast, she said she had “some valid ethical questions around [profiting from] true crime.”
Kendrick explained she never considered “Woman of the Hour” as a “money-making venture” as her focus had been on submitting it to the Toronto International Film Festival.
