2 And A Half Days

Danish director Ole Bornedal will helm a film adaptation of author Dean Koontz' book The Husband according to Screen Daily.

The story follows an ordinary working man whose love for his wife is literally tested over a 60-hour period after he receives a devastating call from a stranger.

Bornedal will write a new draft of the script, originally penned by Glenn Gers who co-wrote the 2007 Anthony Hopkins and Ryan Gosling thriller Fracture.

Producer James Schamus tells Screen Daily, "Ole's work, as a writer-director who deftly crafts human-scaled stories of suspense and drama, makes him the ideal film-maker to bring Dean's gripping bestseller to the screen."
