Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in and produce Snow Blind, a thriller based on the graphic book of the same name.
Filmmaker Gustav Moller will make his English language debut with the upcoming movie which sees him reteam with Gyllenhaal for the project.
The graphic novel follows the story of a boy who finds out that his family is in the witness protection program. The script will be written by Patrick Ness and it has been described as a cross between Prisoners (2013) and the Sidney Lumet drama Running on Empty (1988).
Gyllenhaal will produce with his Nine Stories partner Riva Marker, and Ross Richie, Stephen Christy, and Adam Yoelin of BOOM! Studios.
A video pitch for Snow Blind was recorded by Gyllenhaal and Moller, giving interested parties the opportunity of follow-up meetings via Zoom.
Bids have already been submitted by multiple studios and streamers so a distributor is expected to come on board soon.
