Jake Gyllenhaal is attached to star in “Snow Blind,” a film adaptation of “The Kitchen” author Ollie Masters’ graphic novel with the project currently out on offer to interested studios. Multiple bids have reportedly already been received.
Gustav Moller, who helmed the acclaimed 2018 Danish thriller “The Guilty,” will make his English language directorial debut on the project dubbed “Prisoners meets Running on Empty”.
The story follows Teddy, a high school student in a sleepy Alaskan suburb whose life is turned upside down after he innocently posts a photo of his dad online.
He quickly learns that he and his family are in the Witness Protection Program and soon a man seeking revenge invades their town followed soon after after by pursuing FBI agents. His dad’s reasons for going into the program also may not be as innocent as he says.
“A Monster Calls” author Patrick Ness, currently adapting “Lord of the Flies” for filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, is penning the script. Gyllenhaal, Riva Marker, Ross Richie, Stephen Christy, and Adam Yoelin are producing.
