Well, how about that? This morning Netflix dropped a release date and trailer for I Don’t Feel at Home in This World, which brings together producers and stars from Jeremy Saulnier‘s Green Room and Blue Ruin.
Unsurprisingly, Saulnier is making a Netflix film of his own, an adaptation of William Giraldi’s bestselling novel Hold the Dark, which is to shoot in Alberta Canada February 27.
Hold the Dark takes place in Alaska, where nature writer Russell Core is summoned to track a pack of wolves that are suspected of killing three children. He is hired by the parents of a six-year-old boy believed to have been killed by the wolves. After the mother disappears, the boy’s father returns from the Iraq War intent on wreaking havoc.
Areas of the Kananaskis are expected to sub in for Alaska, explains the Calgary Herald, who broke the news. The production will also film in Morocco for a few days, presumably for scenes involving the war.
Giraldi’s novel, released in 2014, wowed critics and became a bestseller. The Los Angeles Review of Books called it “a bleak, brutal tale of violence and alienation amid unforgiving wilderness.” The New York Times praised it as “spectacularly violent and exquisitely written.”
