Lionsgate has acquired Cold, an original pitch by Bill Marsilii with Reese Witherspoon and Bruna Papandrea producing through their Pacific Standard Films banner, says THR.
Witherspoon also is attached to star in Cold, described as a dark thriller with supernatural elements.
Why this project is important is that, since its launch in 2012, Pacific Standard has been on a tear, scooping up a number of best-selling female-centric books like “Gone Girl” and “Wild” (both scored best actress nominations for stars Rosamund Pike and Witherspoon, respectively).
Witherspoon recently appeared in The Devil’s Knot about the Memphis three.
