From the very beginning, "Monster" was very low-key in its preparation, commencement, filming, and wrapping up. The outside world had no idea that in addition to "The Matrix" and "The Lord of the Rings," Adrian had another movie this year.
This situation continued until late October, after Erin Wuornos's death sentence was officially carried out. Only when some media revisited the case did Adrian let it slip: Hollywood had intentions to adapt this case into a film. This news immediately sparked discussion in certain circles. You must understand that although many states in the United States have not abolished the death penalty, carrying it out is exceedingly difficult. Wuornos was the prime example, caught as early as '91 but dragged out until this year for execution, even with irrefutable evidence proving she killed those six or seven victims.
