Martin Scorsese’s Clue Begins At ‘The Snowman’
Martin Scorsese – who most recently directed Shutter Island and Hugo – continues to walk the fine line between thriller and horror as he is in early talks to direct Working Title’s adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s bestselling mystery novel The Snowman, reports Variety.
Matthew Michael Carnahan (World War Z) is in talks to adapt the Norwegian novel, which is the seventh entry in Nesbo’s series about detective Harry Hole. “Set in Oslo, “The Snowman” concerns a missing woman whose pink scarf is found wrapped around an ominous-looking snowman. As Hole begins his investigation, he discovers that the crime appears to be the work of a serial killer.”
While no formal offer has been made, Scorsese has been circling the project for the last month. He recently began engaging with Working Title and is now seriously considering helming the project. 
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
