Jose Menendez was such a monster that his sons, Lyle and Erik, killed him and his wife, Kitty.
Now Oscar winner Javier Bardem, a legit marquee star, is going to play Jose in Ryan Murphy’s series, “Monsters.” That’s a big get for Murphy, whose shows were starting to fade a bit.
Another hot movie name, Chloe Sevigny, is playing Kitty. “General Hospital” star Nicholas Alexander Chavez, is Lyle, the older brother. Cooper Koch is Erik.
“Monsters” will be on Netflix, but there’s no airdate yet. It’s an anthology series, with one season already banked and ready to go.
The Menendez brothers killed their parents while they were eating ice cream and watching TV. No word if there’s an ice cream sponsor tie-in yet, but it would be ironic if they were slurping Good Humor! (Sorry, had to do it.)
I used this picture because I’ll take any excuse to have Bardem’s SAG nominated wife Penelope Cruz on the page!
Javier, btw, won his Oscar for “No Country for Old Men” playing a seriously scary monster in the Coens’ film.
