Concept for a movie / TV miniseries:

A murder mystery that features six different protagonists, all hunting down the same killer for different reasons. The storylines converge near the end when their investigations start to crossover with each other. The six protagonists are: 

1) Steven Yeun plays a naive, idealistic rookie detective assigned to the case.

2) Diego Luna plays a private investigator hired to find one of the killer’s victims.

3) Elizabeth Henstridge plays a journalist who stumbles upon the case on accident.

4) Gemma Chan plays someone who survived one of the killer’s attacks and is now trying to find them to get revenge. 

5) Idris Elba plays a grieving father who is trying to find the killer since his daughter was one of the victims.

6) Zendaya plays an angsty, genius hacker / conspiracy theorist who believes the killer is part of a bigger conspiracy. 

The six don’t meet until near the end but there are supporting characters who show up in multiple storylines to give the feeling that the six protagonists are connected in a large, tangled web. For example, a suspect that Steven Yeun’s character interrogates could also be one of Zendaya’s hacker friends. That level of connection. 

And to throw the entire audience off, the killer is played by someone who rarely plays villain roles. In my head, I have Chris Hemsworth as the killer.
