When Gustav Möller broke out a few years ago with his intense, one-location thriller The Guilty, Jake Gyllenhaal counted himself a major fan and quickly became attached to produce and star in an English-language remake of the project. We’ve had no updates since then on the project, but thankfully, the more interesting outcome of that has arrived, as Gyllenhaal will now lead a new film directed by Möller.
The project is a thriller titled Snow Blind, which will be an adaptation of Ollie Master’s graphic novel, scripted by Patrick Ness. Described as a mix of another Gyllenhaal film, Denis Villeneuve’s Prisoners, as well as Sidney Lumet’s Running on Empty, the story follows a boy who realizes his family is in the witness protection program.
