[This story contains some spoilers from the premiere of The Jinx — Part Two.]
When speaking recently about the remarkable series of events that led to Robert Durst’s arrest one day before The Jinx aired its season one finale in 2015, the filmmakers behind The Jinx — Part Two, which premiered its six-episode follow-up on Sunday, revealed that director Andrew Jarecki knew from the FBI when Durst went on the run.
“Andrew knew that he was already on the run because there was some talk about some personal danger that Andrew was in,” executive producer Zac Stuart-Pontier told The Hollywood Reporter. “So, he did know that for those four or five days that [Durst] was on the run. But this was not common knowledge.”
Jarecki acknowledged there was confusion about what the public knew at the time, including when the filmmakers submitted evidence for the police investigation into Durst for the 2000 murder of his close friend, Susan Berman. The Jinx — Part Two explained via a title...

‘The Jinx’ Filmmaker Andrew Jarecki Says Despite True-Crime Boom Robert Durst “Is Kind of a Unicorn”
Since HBO’s The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst aired in 2015, Durst, who was arrested shortly before the docuseries’ shocking finale, was convicted of murder in 2021 before dying months later.
In that time, true-crime projects have proliferated in the wake of hits like The Jinx and contemporary docuseries Making a Murderer, the podcast Serial and based-on-a-true-story fictional series like The People v. O.J. Simpson and subsequent American Crime Story installments.
Yet despite being part of this early true-crime wave, The Jinx filmmaker Andrew Jarecki says that there were things about Durst that made him even more riveting than an unsolved murder.
“I think Bob is kind of a unicorn because he’s so unusual, because he’s such a powerful personality and also reckless and also willing to be honest about things that most people aren’t honest about, so you feel like you’re seeing inside him,...

New York real estate scion Robert Durst has been at the forefront of Andrew Jarecki’s mind for close to 20 years. In 2005, the director began working on “All Good Things,” a narrative film inspired by Durst and the 1982 disappearance of his first wife. That was followed by Jarecki’s 2015 HBO bombshell six-part docuseries “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst,” which uncovered evidence of Durst’s connection to various murders and concluded with Durst’s shocking hot mic admission, “Killed them all, of course.” Durst was arrested the day before the final episode thanks to the docuseries. The timing of the arrest led to criticism that Jarecki, his producers and HBO had delayed sharing incriminating discoveries with law enforcement officials for the sake of the series and ratings. Jarecki denies this.
Jarecki could have easily said goodbye to Durst nine years ago. The helmer, previously Oscar nominated for “Capturing the Friedmans,...

Few documentaries have been as genuinely shocking as director Andrew Jarecki’s 2015 true crime documentary series “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.” Using existing media, reenactments and exclusive interview footage of Durst, who had agreed to be interviewed by Jarecki, the six-episode series investigated three unsolved murders in which Durst had been a suspect. It was a captivating spectacle that became a game-changing piece of art when, the day before the series finale aired on HBO, Durst was arrested for first-degree murder after being caught on a recording stating, “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.”
Nearly a decade after winning the Emmy for Best Documentary or Nonfiction Series, Jarecki is back with “The Jinx — Part Two.” Premiering Sunday at 10/9c, the HBO series details the events of the next eight years, during which time Durst was tried and convicted of the murder...

The push-pull of the true-crime genre is that, no matter how much it intends to give a voice to the victims, it more often gives notoriety to the accused.
This is certainly the case if the accused is someone like Robert Durst, the bumbling, garrulous, eccentric, and wealthy septuagenarian at the center of Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Zac Stuart-Pontier’s Emmy-winning 2015 docuseries, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst. That program famously included Durst seemingly confessing to three murders — the 1982 disappearance and assumed death of his first wife, Kathie Durst, the 2000 shooting of his friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 killing and dismembering of his neighbor Morris Black — because a hot mic caught him muttering to himself “killed them all, of course.”...

Back in 2015, HBO aired Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Zac Stuart-Pontier’s six episode true crime docu-series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, which focused on real estate heir Robert Durst and investigated “the unsolved 1982 disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathie McCormack, the 2000 execution-style killing of his longtime friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 death and dismemberment of his neighbor Morris Black”, in Galveston, Texas.” During the making of that docu-series, Durst was caught on tape saying “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.” While he had been acquitted of murdering Black in 2003, Durst was arrested the day before the series finale aired and charged with first degree murder in the death of Berman. While the case went to trial, the documentarians kept digging into the Durst story, gathering material for the follow-up series The Jinx: Part Two. The new trailer for the second part has just dropped.

Robert Durst is back as an HBO subject with the follow-up to the bombshell 2015 docuseries The Jinx.
The Jinx — Part Two, which is coming April 21 and nearly a decade after the first installment, is a six-episode continuation of Andrew Jarecki’s Emmy-winning docuseries, The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, that made Durst a household name and kicked off the ongoing wave of true-crime docuseries.
The New York real estate heir was arrested on first-degree murder charges for the death of his best friend, Susan Berman — less than 24 hours before the Jinx finale aired in an episode that shocked the country when Durst, who was unknowingly still mic’d, is heard saying, “What did I do? Killed them all, of course.”
After an ensuing trial, Durst was convicted for the first-degree murder of Berman in September 2021, and later sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Back in 2015, HBO aired Andrew Jarecki, Marc Smerling, and Zac Stuart-Pontier’s six episode true crime docu-series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, which focused on real estate heir Robert Durst and investigated “the unsolved 1982 disappearance of Durst’s wife, Kathie McCormack, the 2000 execution-style killing of his longtime friend Susan Berman, and the 2001 death and dismemberment of his neighbor Morris Black”, in Galveston, Texas.”. During the making of that docu-series, Durst was caught on tape saying “What the hell did I do? Killed them all, of course.” While he had been acquitted of murdering Black in 2003, Durst was arrested the day before the series finale aired and charged with first degree murder in the death of Berman. While the case went to trial, the documentarians kept digging into the Durst story, gathering material for the follow-up series The Jinx: Part Two. Now Deadline reports that The Jinx:...

A little background on Blumhouse: Founded in 2000 by Producer Jason Blum to fund micro-budgeted productions that gave the filmmakers full control over their films. The company would have its first massive hit in 2009 with Paranormal Activity which would bring in close to 200 million off a 15,000 budget. That money would help make a name for the company who would go on to produce nearly 200 film and television projects in the years since including Best Picture Oscar Nominations for films such as Whiplash, Blackkklansman and Get Out as well as Emmy wins for TV productions such as The Normal Heart and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst.

True crime has become a defining genre on television these days, moving away from the world of documentary and into prestigious narrative filmmaking. In the wake of successful true crime docs like “The Jinx,” HBO is presenting a big, splashy, star-studded look at a case that has captivated audiences for over a decade. The latest is the A-list HBO Max recreation of the Michael Peterson case that French filmmaker Jean-Xavier de Lestrade documented in his 2004 miniseries “The Staircase.”
Despite its critical success, “The Staircase” didn’t quite reach the levels of national zeitgeist that “The Jinx”, “Making a Murderer” or “Serial” have in years since. But its fingerprints are all over those shows, not just in terms of access to the accused, but also in the attention to forensic detail, novelistic approach to storytelling, and a central suspect whose guilt or innocence continues to divide viewers. Now, it’s considered...

Before the popularity of true crime exploded, the 2004 French docuseries “The Staircase” was one of the genre’s crown jewels. Jean-Xavier de Lastrade’s non-fiction chronicle of the mystery surrounding the 2001 death of Kathleen Peterson won a Peabody Award in 2005, anticipating the success of podcasts like “Serial” and docuseries like “The Jinx.” Now, the infamous story is coming to HBO Max in a new scripted adaptation from writer/director Antonio Campos (“The Devil All the Time”).

There's good news and bad news. The good news is there are hundreds of true-crime documentaries to enjoy—but that also happens to be the bad news. Over the years, Netflix, Hulu, HBO and other streamers have recruited documentarians and filmmakers to tell important stories that captivate audiences. Admittedly, some documentaries are merely fascinating for featuring kooky characters, but others have contributed to ongoing investigations. For example, if it weren't for the HBO doc The Jinx, there's no knowing whether Robert Durst would've been convicted for the murder of Susan Berman. While filming the miniseries, Durst, who died this...

If any genre’s stock has grown over the past decade, it’s been that of true crime. A trend that began in the mid-2010s with podcasts and docuseries like HBO’s “The Jinx” and Netflix’s “Making a Murderer” soon gave way to splashy TV fictionalizations like “Mindhunter” and FX’s “American Crime Story” series. The latest developments have been podcast adaptations like “Dirty John” and Apple TV+’s “The Shrink Next Door” that wink even more at the audience with self-aware casting choices and comic overtones.

“He was having difficulty breathing and he was having difficulty communicating,” DeGuerin said in an email to the Los Angeles Times. “He looked worse than I’ve ever seen him and I was very worried about him.”
Durst has been held under guard in a wing of USC Medical Center during his murder trial.

Robert Durst was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Thursday for the first-degree murder of his friend, Susan Berman, 20 years ago.
The 78-year-old real estate heir was convicted in September of killing Berman, who was found dead in her home in December 2000. Durst has been accused of killing Berman so that she would not speak to authorities regarding the 1982 disappearance of his first wife Kathie McCormack Durst, whose body has never been discovered.
Durst was convicted of a special circumstances murder, meaning that he could only be sentenced to life in prison without parole or receive the death penalty. The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office did not pursue the death penalty for Durst. Durst’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, filed a motion for a new trial, which was denied by Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark Windham.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Mark E. Windham read the sentence at the Airport Courthouse today.
Durst, 78, whose appearance in HBO’s six-part documentary series The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst reignited interest in the case, sat slumped in a wheelchair in the courtroom as the judgment was handed down. At one point, both of his representatives seemed to look at him with concern.

As jaw-dropping as Robert Durst’s “killed them all” confession at the end of HBO docuseries The Jinx was six years ago, the filmmaker behind the award-winning show says he wasn’t shocked when Durst was convicted Friday for the murder of his best friend Susan Berman.
“I can’t say I was surprised because if you watch the trial it was extraordinary,” Jarecki said in an interview on Good Morning America Monday. “Bob admits in the trial that he lied five times and perjured himself in this trial. He also admits that he lied in his prior trial. … You can’t be amazed by it, but at the same time it’s very gratifying because you also know this is a man who’s evaded justice for so long that all you can do is hope for the families of the victims that there are not going to be surprises.
