[[UPDATE 2]] October 20, 2015
I started taking about this at the beginning of the month (see the original articles below) and I promised I would keep you up to date. Today we have more pictures from the movie and most importantly, the one we have all been waiting for: James Franco and actor Keegan Allen — as I am assuming — playing Joe Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra.
Another one from Keegan Allen:

[[UPDATE 1]] October 15, 2015
A few weeks ago (see the original article below) I reported about an upcoming episode on NBC Universal’s show on the Oxygen Cable Network, “Snapped: Killer Couples” and that a big screen version was in the works. The small screen segment will air at 9 p.m. EST/PST on Sunday, Oct. 18. The episode draws heavily on the book Cobra Killer: Gay Porn, Murder, and the Manhunt to Bring the Killers to Justice by Dr. Andrew E. Stoner.
Dr. Stoner’s twitter for his book first broke the big feature news:
Filming for the movie adaptation of our book officially started today! #KingCobra #CobraKillerBook

Produced by Event Films, the cast is said to include Christian Slater as Bryan Kocis. James Franco has also been cast. Slater and Franco recently worked together in the “Adderal Diaries”
Though named “Sean” so far in the script, the Brent Corrigan role is being played by Garret Clayton who is already beefing — and chubbing — up for the role
Molly Ringwald has also been cast as Kocis’ sister Melody and shared this picture of her and Slater from the set:

Original Article – October 2, 2015
With Jarec Wentworth scheduled for sentencing later this month on the 26th, the most infamous gay porn related case in recent memory is likely to suck up all of the oxygen again. It might cause the resurfacing of the real, all-time Mack Daddy tale of lies, deceit and murder in GayPornLandia to slip under the radar. But not on my watch.
The case would be the 2007 brutal, cold-blooded killing of Cobra Video owner Bryan Kocis by Harlow Cuadra and Joe Kerekes. It will be featured on NBC Universal’s show on the Oxygen Cable Network, “Snapped: Killer Couples”. The segment will air at 9 p.m. EST/PST on Sunday, Oct. 18.
There is a major motion picture in the works with the working title “King Cobra.” Casting rumors are said to include Christian Slater and James Franco.
The episode will draw on the research of Dr. Andrew E. Stoner, assistant professor in Communication Studies at Sacramento State University who literally co-authored the book on the subject. Joe Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra were convicted of first-degree murder in separate trials in 2008-2009 in for the death of Bryan Kocis. The bizarre, violent case all stemmed from a battle over a model, budding star Brent Corrigan, whom Kerekes and sometimes porn model/escort Cuadra believed was their ticket to porn millions.
They ended up stabbing Kocis 28 times and lighting his body on fire, all because he had an exclusive contract with Corrigan. Corrigan added another layer of palace intrigue to the whole sordidness of it all when he revealed he was only 17 when Kocis filmed him in his early videos.
In 2012, Brent Corrigan opened up for one of the first times about the case, in which he was a key witness, saying, that it “never should have happened” to him.

FYI, Snapped Killer Couples previously covered the murder involving SeanCody’s Addison (Jason Andrews) and his girlfriend (Amanda Logue). Most of the episode focused on Logue. The episode is on Amazon.
It is interesting that IMDB has a listing for an actor who plays Bryan Kocis’ friend (and employee) Robert Wagner. It gives the impression that the episode may in fact be told from Wagner’s perspective; that Wagner himself may be in the episode.
Also, since the production didn’t appear to be desperately seeking photos and video of Lockhart, I wouldn’t be surprised if Lockhart is also in the episode.

What a small world, Peter. I didn’t know about Andrews-Lougue on Snapped – I will def check it out. Here’s the small world part – I actually shot Jason’s last scene … I wrote about it at The Sword

Thank you for linking to my site.
It is funny that the only image Snapped Killer Couples used to illustrate Jason Andrews’ gay work was a photo of him from that last gay shoot with Parker Brookes. Parker’s face is censored in the photo they showed.
