The smell of an English language remake is in the air as Deadline is reporting that WWE Studios has acquired the exclusive English language remake rights to the Norwegian thriller franchise Cold Prey and has sealed a deal for an option to purchase Casey La Scala’s screenplay which he is now writing.
Cold Prey centers on a group of friends who decide to ski out of bounds and are forced to take shelter when a storm hits, finding themselves imprisoned in an abandoned ski lodge along with a maniacal killer. The story has been described as a cross between The Grey and The Revenant and really centers on a strong female character who reaches the limits of physical and mental endurance.
Cold Prey was hailed as one of the best modern Norwegian horror movies and the most successful franchise of its kind. La Scala recently wrote, produced and directed The Remaining for Sony and produced Amityville The Awakening which will be released on June 30th.
Michael Luisi, WWE Studios President, will oversee for WWE and will produce along with La Scala. Marius Haugan will executive produce.
