Scorsese Builds The Snowman

Author Jo Nesbø's book The Snowman is getting made into a film---and director  Martin Scorsese will call action according to The Hollywood Reporter.



The story follows Norwegian gumshoe Harry Hole, an "anti-authoritarian, anti-sobriety" cop, as he solves gruesome and complex murders. In "Snowman," the seventh book in Nesbo's franchise, a son discovers his mother's pink scarf around the neck of a scary-looking snowman. Hole realizes this is no Christmas jingle; she is the latest victim of a serial killer.

Matthew Michael Carnahan wrote the adapted screenplay.

Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce while Nesbo and Niclas Salomonsson will serve as executive producers

The film will be the first English language film adaptation of Nesbo's work but another--Headhunters is one of the most successful Norwegian films of all time.

Scorsese's first 3-D family film Hugo Cabret hits theaters in 2 days
