The last time we saw Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, she was giving a moving performance as an obsessed investigator on Grimm. Now you can see her in an entirely different–and ground-breaking–role as a violent Latino transsexual trapped behind bars in the disturbing thriller K-11, premiering in theaters and VOD on Friday, March 15.
Jules Stewart, mother of Kristen Stewart, had originally hoped to have her daughter in the film, but that didn’t pan out; instead Castillo joins Goran Visnjic (Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) in a bizarre story about a special block in L.A. County jail that’s reserved for “criminal transvestites, addicts, and mentally unstable fellow prisoners.”
The Hollywood Reporter says K-11 is “like a deranged John Waters remake of The Shawshank Redemption.” Judge for yourself with this definitely for NSFW trailer below:
