Another serial killer will soon be on the loose across our screens as Variety is reporting that Michael Fassbender is in talks to star in Broad Green Pictures’ Entering Hades with Storyscape Entertainment and Fassbender’s DMC Film producing.
Entering Hades is based on John Leake’s true crime novel about Jack Unterweger, a celebrated Austrian journalist and best-selling author who led a double life investigating murders by day and killing by night – amassing a body count of 11 people across multiple continents.
Producers are Storyscape Entertainment’s Bob Cooper (John Tucker Must Die) and Richard Saperstein (1408) along with Conor McCaughan and Daniel Emmerson of DMC Film.
Alexander Dinelaris, who won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar as one of the four screenwriters on Birdman, is rewriting the screenplay with Fassbender eyed to star. Bill Wheeler wrote the original script.
“With Bob and Richard’s vision and Michael’s keen ability to bring captivating characters to the big screen, we are confident that Entering Hades will be an entertaining thriller that draws a big audience,” said Gabriel and Daniel Hammond, CEO and Chief Creative Officer of Broad Green Pictures.
Entering Hades is the first project announced by Broad Green Pictures and Storyscape Entertainment since the companies signed a first-look deal last year.
“This is exactly the kind of elevated and commercial material that we are looking to produce through our deal with Broad Green,” Cooper and Saperstein said. “Michael Fassbender is one of today’s most talented actors, and we are thrilled to be in partnership with him, as well as Conor and Daniel, to bring this extraordinary story to the screen.”
Mister Smith Entertainment will handle international sales.
