Los Angeles: “The Great Gatsby” star Tobey Maguire is in talks to make his directorial debut on the long-awaited film adaptation of Jo Nesbo’s “Blood on Snow”.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 41-year-old actor – who voices a character in new animation “The Boss Baby” – is to step behind the camera for the first time on the film, which is inspired by the novella.
This development has been sitting on the shelf for years after rumours that Leonardo DiCaprio was interested in the adaptation of the 2013 book. However, the project fell through due to a scheduling conflict.
Now Tobey’s production company Material Pictures and Lawrence Grey’s Grey Matter Productions have taken up the rights and it is rumoured they are developing the idea.
Grey Matter’s Ben Everard along with Jo’s own agent Niclas Salomonsson will be executive producers of the movie.
Tobey is also producing Robin Bissell’s civil rights drama “The Best of Enemies” starring Taraji P. Henson.
