He received acclaim for his directorial debut, 2013’s Blue Ruin. And he’s currently scooping in the plaudits for his follow-up, the Patrick Stewart-starring Green Room. So we’re glad to see director Jeremy Saulnier locking in his next project, an adaptation of Hold The Dark.
Macon Blair, who appeared in both of Saulnier’s previous films, is writing this one (and will probably step in front of the camera once the production starts), adapting William Giraldi’s novel. It’s an intense story of revenge set against the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. When a pack of wolves snatches a young child, an expert hunter is summoned to find a destroy the animals. But as he ventures into the harsh landscape, the mission becomes a personal echo of his own failures as a family man, and with the child’s grief-stricken father closing in behind and the lethal animals lurking ahead, he begins to question who the hunter really is.
Production company A24 (which helped bring Green Room to life) is on board once again, but there’s no word on when Saulnier will be working on the film. There’s some small part of us that hopes he and Blair call this new baby Red In Tooth And Claw just to keep the colour theme of their previous collaborations going. But we’re weird like that.
While Green Room doesn’t have a UK release date locked down yet, it will screen at the London Film Festival on October 14.
